En savoir plus sur le livre

The contemporary French artist's book is often the work of many artists who seek collaborations with other artists and at the same time act as an editor, author, publisher and printer. They make innovative books, produced in small quantities and executed in various combinations of techniques - from letterpress to mezzotint, from gouache to screen printing. Printers such as Robert and Lydie Dutrou and Anakatabase of the older generation, and Zone opaque of the youngest, understand their profession and work as an artist together with others. Michael Caine from Petropolis, Didier Mutel and Pierre Walusinsky have enjoyed a training as a graphic artist. Publishers such as Collectif Génération, Fata Morgana and Al Manar search for contacts with artists around the world for their books. Artists such as Shirley Sharoff, Joël Leick and François Righi have strong ideas about the books they make and disseminate. Their creative books appeal to the imagination. This is a richly illustrated sample of the modern French artist's book between 2000-2015, with works from over 30 modern French artists, printers and publishers. Paul van Capelleveen places the works in an international context and unravels the rise and importance of the fruitful collaborations between artists and printers.
