About the Item

Lithograph on vélin de Rives paper. Inscription: hand signed and unnumbered, as issued. Good condition. Notes: From the folio, Variations sur l'imaginaire, 1972. Published by Philippe Lebaud, Éditeur, Paris; printed by Éditions Atelier Clot, Bramsen & Georges, Paris, March 15, 1972. Excerpted from the volume (translated from French), The circulation of this work from the collection Variations has been limited to 190 examples which are justified as follows: twenty examples on Japon Nacré, numbered from 1 to 20 to which was attached a suite on Rives des lithographies and an original gouache; thirty examples on Auvergne numbered from 21 to 50 to which a suite on Rives des lithographies was attached; one hundred and forty examples on Rives numbered from 51 to 190. A non-commercial example marked 0 was drawn for each of the employees of the edition. Completed on March 15, 1972, the edition was produced under the direction of Alain Bosquet and Philippe Lebaud with the collaboration of Jacques de Cornulier and Jean-François Fouquereau and the contribution of Pierre Jean Mathan for typography. The lithographs of Cremonini, Fred Deux, Delmotte, Hélion, Herold, Masson and Peverelli, were drawn at the workshops of Fernand Mourlot; the lithographs of Coutaud and Labisse at the workshops of Jacques Desjobert; the lithographs of Aillaud, Dufour, Ferrer, Man Ray and Monory at the workshops of Clot, Bramsen and Georges; the lithographs of Leonor Fini, Lamy, Lepri and Rohner at the workshops of René Guillard; the lithographs of Baj and Lunven at the workshops of Michel Cassé. The binding was executed by Jacques Ebrard based on a model by Paul Mc Lennon. The texts and lithographs bear the autographs of their authors. GILES AILLAUD (1928-2005) was an internationally known French painter, set decorator, and scenographer; as well, he was one of the main proponents of the Nouvelle Figuration and Figuration Narrative schools of art. He primarily painted animals, being best known for large canvases of zoo animals in which humans are invisible but strongly present, but also producing pictures of African wildlife in their natural environment. Aillaud was president of the Salon de la Jeune Peinture in 1964 and in 1968 painted "La bataille du riz" (in French), a depiction of an American soldier being held prisoner by the Vietnamese.
