PICASSO, Pablo (1881-1973) et Pierre REVERDY (1889-1960)
Le Chant des morts. Paris : Tériade, 1948

Édition originale "enluminée" par Picasso de 125 grandes lithographies originales en rouge. À l’origine, Picasso envisageait d’illustrer l’ouvrage de manière « classique », en juxtaposant texte et illustrations. C’est à la lecture du texte de Reverdy qu’il décide finalement d’entremêler lettres et images, à la manière des manuscrits enluminés et de leurs bordures, bouts-de-lignes et drôleries. « Picasso perçoit l'écriture large de Reverdy qui remplit les pages sans les encombrer, comme un arrangement de petits signes noirs qu'il va compléter par de grands signes rouges rappelant la calligraphie orientale » (Goeppert-Cramer, Picasso, n°50).
Chapon, Le Peintre et le livre, pp. 236-240 ; Riva Castleman, A Century of Artists Books, New York, The Museum of Modern Art, 1994, p. 129 ; Hyza (dir.), Picasso et le livre d'artiste, cat. 40 et pp. 52-53 & 56.

In-folio (420 x 320 mm), en feuilles, tel que paru. Edition originale. Tirage limité à 270 exemplaires sur vélin d’Arches, celui-ci le n°150, signé au crayon par Picasso et Reverdy. 125 lithographies originales en rouge de Pablo Picasso, encadrant le texte lithographié d’après l’écriture de Reverdy (comme toujours, reports des lithographies, quelques rousseurs et piqûres).
Sous couverture rempliée illustrée, chemise et étui de l’éditeur (usures et salissures à la chemise et à l’étui).

First edition, as issued, comprising 125 original colour lithographs by Picasso, "illuminating" Reverdy's handwritten text.
