Description
The original work, published in 1947, marked a key moment in the artist's career when he transitioned from painting to paper cut-outs. This turning point provided the matrix for his later work. The printing process employed by Draeger - the album's original printers - uses a Marinoni Voirin lithographic press to recreate the unique quality of the coloured cut-outs and perfectly reproduce the chromatic finish. Each colour is printed individually using an engraved offset plate, requiring up to 11 successive pulls on the press. The collaboration with Maison Matisse has allowed two calligraphic studies to be added to the work.
