Description

Dingo.

Paris, Ambroise Vollard, 1924.


In-folio (380 x 280 mm). En feuilles, couverture illustrée.


55 eaux-fortes originales de Pierre Bonnard, dont la couverture, une vignette de titre, 14 hors-texte et nombreuses vignettes de titre, culs-de-lampe et lettrines.


Un des 30 exemplaires de tête sur Japon ancien (n° 25), enrichi d'une suite de tous les hors-textes sur vergé, d'un tirage limité à 350 exemplaires.

Complet du feuillet d'indication des eaux-fortes.


Malgré le scandale provoqué par Parallèlement et Daphnis et Chloé, "Vollard persévère dans la voie du livre d'artiste et déploie toujours plus de moyens à ces fins. Il reste fidèle à certains peintres avec lesquels il travaille de longue date, tel Bonnard qui illustre avec délice le truculent Dingo d'Octave Mirbeau (1930). Ses eaux-fortes reflètent parfaitement l'humour cynique de l'auteur pour lequel il a une réelle amitié, ainsi que son affection pour les chiens et les chats, omniprésents dans son œuvre" (Clara Roca).
