Jean Benoît (1922–2010) Women-Flowers. 1965. Lithograph. 155 x 200 [246 x 326]. Perfect print on white vellum, annotated "artist's proof," numbered and signed in pencil. Full margins. Edition of 34 prints. AABM stamp (Lugt 3075). Subject intended to illustrate a book of poems by Bounoure: "Moreover, for reasons that are likely the same, the ‘women-as-flowers’ illustration—which was not included in this layout, is indeed absent from ordinary copies, but appears opposite ‘Licorne’ in the T1 copy of the Bounoure edition—seems to have been reserved for deluxe and non-commercial copies. " (Andrea D’Urso, A. “Toward the Shadow, or the Iconotext of Vincent Bounoure and Jean Benoît” in Dalhousie French Studies, no. 125, p. 110).
