A very beautiful publication that has become rare despite its edition of 1000 copies on wove paper, offering a suite of 12 remarkable colour plates made by Jacomet after works by Georges BRAQUE, Marc CHAGALL, André DERAIN, Raoul DUFY, Fernand LÉGER, Henri MATISSE, Amedeo MODIGLIANI, Pablo PICASSO, Georges ROUAULT, Maurice UTRILLO, Jacques VILLON and Maurice de VLAMINCK. The collection begins with a short note on each artist. Each plate is preserved inside a double sheet of wove paper bearing the name of the artist and the title of the work represented. A very well preserved copy.
