Description
Henri MICHAUX. A Study of Eight Lithographs by Zao Wou-Ki. Paris, Éditions Euros and Robert J. Godet, 1950. Folio, loose-leaf, illustrated hardback, publisher’s slipcase. First edition, illustrated with 8 original colour lithographs by Zao Wou-Ki. “The painter, who left Shanghai for Paris in April 1948, has just settled in Montparnasse. This collaboration between the painter and the poet marked the beginning of a long friendship, founded on a shared lucidity illuminated by humour. Michaux, who wrote only very rarely about painters, devoted two further texts to Zao Wou-Ki” (BnF, Henri Michaux, no. 155). Limited edition of 92 copies: one of the 8 copies on Rives B.F.K. paper featuring an original watercolour, signed by the poet and the painter (no. IV). The superb original watercolour signed by Zao Wou-Ki, reproduced opposite, has been framed separately.
