2005160172Toulouse: Universite de Toulouse 2005. Softcover. All VG. Doctoral thesis. 3 volumes identically bound with acetate covers and black cloth spines. 1157 pages across the 3 volumes. Volume I: 428 pp. with no illustrations the main thesis. Volume II: pp. 429 - 1019; documents appendices bw photos. Volume III: The works of Villon listed and pictured. The works studied constitute the period from 1947 to 1963. It retains 943 letters from Villon to Espic and attached documents: biographical historiographic theoretical. The letters and documents are reproduced in the 2nd volume. These sources contribute to a better understanding of the production of the artist as a whole. The first part deals with the correspondence the guiding thread. Analysis description and methodological propositions are stated and lead to a reflection on the relations between the epistolary and the "writings of artists". Next comes a monographic study. The great stylistic passages of the graphic and painted work are studied. The role of Villon in cubism the "Golden Section" is reconsidered. The transition to abstraction and the return to figuration around 1935 are evaluated. After 1945 Villon's representative abstraction embodies the reassuring values of a traditional French painting supported by the art market and the institutions of the Fourth Republic.

2007151259Paris: Editions Desjonqueres 2007. Softcover. VG clean and tight; appears to be unread. White wraps with color illus. and black lettering. 317 pp. with 49 bw figures. Text in French with a preface by Henri Behar. "If the eccentricity of Salvador Dali contributed to his international reputation it also detracted by masking the depth of his views and originality of his imagination. Among the best-informed men of his time Dali demonstrated creativity drawing constantly about knowledge and discoveries of his time. This singularity of a work that is rooted in a multitude of knowledge is studied in the light of the writings of the artist who beyond his pictorial interests photographic or cinematographic reflect his fascination for optics mathematics or nuclear physics. Some of the most noted specialists in the work of the Catalan master contributed to this publication following the centenary of the birth of one who remains in the memory of the twentieth century as the quintessential surrealist artist whose work constantly transgresses the boundaries between dream and science." from the back cover.
