illustrated books in limited editions

“A truly illustrated book is not a set of images placed throughout the text like flowers laid on a grave or rubble along a fence. On the contrary, it is a passion that catches fire and forms between a writer and an artist. It is the story of a love affair, the passionate complicity, of two minds....

"Saura belongs to that generation of the fire beneath the ash that stirred the ashes into a great flame. This major creative talent, who is modest and assumes the guise of an hidalgo of delicate and serious countenance, is one of the most corrosive and inventive artists of the new ‘Spanish School'. His works as a painter and printmaker are simultaneously violent and generous, ironic and lyrical, inspired and sarcastic. He opens the idle pace of patience to rage, and the insolent charms of parody to homage. He pours into the milk of human kindness that black ink of dark humour in which Goya dipped his pen.”

Claude ROY
