Contrôleur de l'ennui with 12 “drawings made with a nail and a match” by Jules PascinFirst edition, one of 50 numbered copies on pur chiffon de Moirans, the tirage de tête (firsts deluxe copies).
A full-margined, pleasant copy.
Handwritten presentation copy signed by Jules Pascin to Pierre Humbourg: “These drawings were made with a nail and a match. Pascin.”
Indeed, our copy is enriched with 12 original humorous drawings of rascal, scatological or colonialist inspirations by Jules Pascin on full page or double page. These drawings are of a very particular if not unique technique, made using a simple head of a nail, the flame then the charcoal end of a match.
The small pieces missing in the margin of the presentation are the work of Pascin himself who had originally introduced his improvised graphic tools through the inscription page.
Quite exceptional!
