BOUBAT (Édouard). - Lot 34

BOUBAT (Édouard). Comme avec une femme. Large in-4 format, publisher’s hardcover with illustrated dust jacket. A beautiful monograph dedicated to Édouard Boubat, one of the leading figures of French humanist photography. Centered on the theme of women, this publication brings together images taken both in France and during his numerous travels (India, Portugal, Japan, Mexico, Africa, etc.), in which the female figure appears as a symbol of grace, freedom, and harmony with the world. The book is interspersed with texts and literary quotations—notably from Rimbaud—that accompany this photographic meditation on the beauty of everyday life and the poetry of human beings. This copy is enhanced by a handwritten dedication signed by Édouard Boubat on the half-title page: “For Jean-Paul, while strolling in a caravan. Valentine’s Day. Boubat.” Condition: very good copy.
