HENRIC (Jacques). Pierre Klossowski - Lot 124

HENRIC (Jacques). Pierre Klossowski Paris, Adam Biro, n.d. (circa 1989–1990). Large quarto, hardcover with illustrated dust jacket. A major monograph devoted to Pierre Klossowski (1905–2001), writer, philosopher, translator of Nietzsche, and a singular artist whose graphic work occupies a unique place in 20th-century art. Jacques Henric traces the intellectual and artistic journey of this fascinating figure, at the crossroads of literature, metaphysics, and the representation of desire. The book presents a significant collection of drawings and compositions by Klossowski, in which a theatrical, ambiguous, and unsettling universe unfolds, nourished by philosophical, religious, and mythological references. The reproductions allow readers to appreciate the delicacy of his line work and the coherence of an imaginative world that has become iconic. A definitive publication on one of the most unique artists of the second half of the 20th century. Condition: very good copy.
