Henri MICHAUX
Nous deux encore
J. Lambert & Cie|Paris 1948|12 x 18.50 cm|broché
First edition printed in 750 numbered copies on vélin du Marais paper.
Rare autograph inscription signed by Henri Michaux to the critic and art publisher Tériade: "Souvenir d'amis. A Teriade H. Michaux."
Tériade, whose real name was Stratis Eleftheriadis, arrived in Paris in 1915 and discovered Parisian bohemia early on, making the acquaintance of Christian Zervos. He participated in the creation of the famous surrealist magazine Minotaure for which he served as artistic director until 1936. He also founded, with Maurice Raynal, the magazine La bête noire then the magazine Verve to which the greatest artists of the 20th century contributed, such as Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Georges Braque, Fernand Léger, Joan Miro, Pierre Bonnard, Henri Matisse... Tériade also published several art books, bringing together the most important poets and artists of the second half of the 20th century, including the sublime Jazz illustrated by Henri Matisse, a masterpiece of the illustrated book.
Very rare and handsome copy of this moving text with an autograph inscription from the author, considering that he had the entire print run withdrawn from sale.
