CAPDEVILLE (Jean).
Tribute to Simone Weil.
[Céret: at the author's], 1971. - In-4, 326 x 261: (16 ff.), illustrated cover. In sheets, under two plexiglass plates held at the back by three green leather ties.

Extremely rare edition of this homage to Simone Weil by the painter Jean CAPDEVILLE (1917-2011), who has collected her thoughts from his Cahiers. 

A true artist's book, it consists of printed and handwritten texts on Arches wove paper, as well as abstract compositions in gouache on full pages or around certain quotations. The artist indicated in pencil on one of the pages: "made in August 1971 by Jean Capdeville".

We do not know the exact print run of this book, which must have been made only for a limited number of enthusiasts.

Perfectly preserved copy.
