...Autre chose que de l'enfant beau [...Something Other than a Beautiful Child]

Louis Broder | Paris 1957 | 13.5 x 16.5 cm | full box in custom chemise and slipcase

First edition printed in 120 numbered copies on Japon paper, ours is one of 100 copies numbered in Arabic numerals.
Illustrated with an original drypoint in colour by Pablo Picasso, printed in Georges Leblanc's workshops in Paris.

Using a process used the previous year for the illustration of Autre chose by P. A. Benoit, the artist pierced the black mould, giving the appearance of an empty circle in the engraving. This circle, not pressed by the plate, forms a white half-sphere in relief, a unique and empty eye of a dismembered character, very surely inspired by one of Artaud's great drawings from 1946, “L'Homme et sa douleur,” preserved at the Cantini museum in Marseille.
Rare and very beautiful copy, perfectly set in a decorative binding, comprising the only intaglio produced in colour by Picasso to illustrate the book.
