L'Estampe Originale

L'Estampe originale portfolio revisited in landmark Catalogue raisonné >This revised and full color publication of L'Estampe originale, A Catalogue Raisonné highlights the importance of color lithography during the last decade of the nineteenth century. The book includes an enlightening essay based on hundreds of mostly unpublished handwritten original and facsimile letters from the artists and from Marty's collaborators; these are preserved at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. This vast chorus of voices allows the reader to eavesdrop directly on the past and reveals rich details of the life and working methods of André Marty—an ambitious cultural insider and artist, art historian, critic, editor, prominent and discerning publisher, private dealer and entrepreneur.
