Description: "Maurice Henry: Une Poetique de l'Humour," published by Fondazione Gruppo Credito Valtellinese, Milano, 2009, 310 pages, large oblong hardcover in pictorial boards, 12" by 8.75". Bilingual text in French and Italian. Outstanding monograph on French poet, artist and photographer Maurice Henry, a founder of the 1920's Parisian Grand Jeu art group and contributor to their magazine, a group later affiliated with the practice of Surrealism. Henry was a prodigious talent, his art and life intersecting with the likes of Cocteau, Andre Breton, Picasso, Dali, and Camus. This is the major publication on him to date, a beautifully produced book with introductory texts on sand-colored matte paper, followed by over 200 color plates of his vanguard work from the 20's through the 70's, often informed by humor and reminiscent at times of the work of Belgian Surrealist Marcel Marien. Exceptional and rare book. In excellent condition. Buyer to pay for item plus shipping.
