About the Item
Realized by an anonymous artist under the pseudonym of R.L. Delechamps, La Bible Noire is considered one of the masterpieces of XX century pornographic art.
Though it states to be printed in Paris in 1921, it was probably issued in Berlin in the same year, in clandestinity as the Editor name (Edition Private's) suggests.
The real rareness of this collection of prints is not represented by the official edition of 300 copies: most of them were probably destroyed within a few months or years after publication.
Some plates are printed in green, each one is signed by the artist in pencil.
This copy is in free sheets, each in very good conditions with a very fresh and clear sign.

Under existing legislation, any artwork in Italy created over 70 years ago by an artist who has died requires a licence for export regardless of the work’s market price.

- The Plow on the Fields- Etching by André Dunoyer de Segonzac- 1950sBy André Dunoyer de SegonzacLocated in Roma, ITThe Plow on the Fields is an etching and drypoint realized by André Dunoyer de Segonzac (1884-1974). Good condition on a yellowed paper. Hand-signed by the artist on the plate. Limited edition of 60 copies numbered and signed. André Dunoyer de Segonzac (7 July 1884 – 17 September 1974) was a French painter and graphic artist.In 1947, he published his suite of etchings illustrating the Georgics of Virgil. In the judgement of Anne Distel, chief curator of the Musée d'Orsay, "The technical perfection and the nobility of the tone, which carried the cachet of the original, but was imbued throughout with an unfailing lyricism, make this work Segonzac's masterpiece. It must be included in a list of the most beautifully illustrated books of [the 20th] century."The gossamer quality of his etchings stood in contrast to the thickly painted surfaces and generally somber color of his oil paintings, which reflected his admiration for Courbet and Cézanne. His subjects include landscapes, still lifes, and nudes. He influenced other artists like Samuel Peploe...Category
