Beautiful edition, large in quarto, presented in soft cover, in loose notebooks, ready to be bound, according to the great tradition of luxury books.. Publisher: Compagnie francaise des Arts Graphiques, 1944. 315 copies, one of 233 on pure vellum rag of l'analyse. 6 strong waters by Michel Ciry. We no longer present Sacha Guitry, actor, writer, theater and cinema director, knowledgeable art collector, lover of the pleasures of life, escaping from the vulgar with a sometimes cruel witticism, but an unwavering friend of his actors, as well as his stagehands (the astonishing credits of his films bear witness to this, with humor and tenderness). We will find in this play the most moving declaration of love for the only one he ever had in reality, the theater. Duburau is a legendary character, since he is the actor who laid the foundations of modern mime in the 19th century. Michel Ciry (1919-2018) is also a versatile artist, painter, engraver, composer (student of Nadia Boulanger) who leaves a work that goes against the grain, imbued with poetry and mysticism. Some foxing on the cover, but the notebooks and engravings are free. ready to be linked, if desired.
