Fully illustrated in b/w, plus bibliography at the rear. Dust jacket and book both very good. The dust jacket has some finger marks - as it is white these are inevitable. 243 pages. 270 x 215 mm (10¾ x 8½ inches).

    The engravings of the Caledonian natives of the end of the nineteenth century constitute a primitive art, unique in human history. They have always posed an enigma to ethnologists.

    . Édition originale. Reliure cartonnée de l'éditeur en toile bordeaux, avec jaquette blanche illustrée d'origine. Entièrement illustré en noir et blanc, avec une bibliographie au dos. La jaquette et le livre sont tous deux très bons et propres. La jaquette présente quelques traces de doigts - comme elle est blanche, ces traces sont inévitables. 243 pages. 270 x 215 mm.

    Les gravures des indigènes calédoniens de la fin du XIXe siècle constituent un art primitif, unique dans l'histoire de l'humanité. Elles ont toujours constitué une énigme pour les ethnologues. Ce livre donne, pour la première fois, la traduction intégrale de centaines de petites figures gravées, réalistes ou symboliques, et la clé de leur lecture.

  • Lucian Freud 1996 - 2005 by SMEE, Sebastian
    SMEE, Sebastian
    Lucian Freud 1996 - 2005

    Paris: Editions de La Martinière, 2005. First Edition. The last ten years of Freud's work. Subjects of his work range from Queen Elizabeth II of England, to the ex-model Jerry Hall, illustrations of horses, and dogs; but mostly there are nudes which are at the heart of all his work. Lucian Freud was undoubtedly a great realist artist. In the secrecy of his workshop the models exposed themselves to the painter's gaze, his brush recomposing their bodies into art which can be both fascinating and repulsive. In hardback cloth boards, inside original dust jacket.

    . Première édition. Les dix dernières années de l'œuvre de Freud. Les sujets de son travail vont de la reine Elizabeth II d'Angleterre à l'ex-mannequin Jerry Hall, en passant par des illustrations qui traduisent sa passion pour les chevaux et les nus qui sont au cœur de toute son œuvre. Lucian Freud est sans conteste un grand artiste réaliste. Dans le secret de son atelier, les modèles s'exposaient au regard du peintre, son pinceau recomposant leur corps dans un art qui peut être à la fois fascinant et repoussant. Livre relié en toile, avec jaquette d'origine à l'intérieur. Le livre et la jaquette sont en bon état, propres et sans marques. 13 pages de texte en français, 99 pages de planches : presque toutes des illustrations, dont certaines en couleur.
