PORRET-FOREL (Jacqueline) - Lot 225

PORRET-FOREL (Jacqueline) Geneva, Éditions Zoé, circa 1995. A rare publication devoted to the writings of Aloïse Corbaz (1886–1964), an iconic figure of Art Brut and an artist particularly admired by Jean Dubuffet. In addition to her now-famous graphic work, Aloïse left behind a substantial literary body of work consisting of letters, notes, stories, and poetic fragments that remained unpublished for a long time. Jacqueline Porret-Forel, who knew the artist personally and was one of her first students, has compiled these texts here and placed them within their biographical and creative context. This book is an essential resource for understanding Aloïse’s imaginative world, where romantic visions, historical references, and poetic reveries intertwine. Illustrated paperback published by the publisher.
