in a splendid Revorim binding by Jean de Gonet
Doubles d'ombre. Poèmes et dessins 1913-1943.
Paris, Gallimard, (1943). (265 x 195 mm). 83, [9] pages. (first 4 and last 4 pages blank).
With black and white illustrations (1 in colour on p. 47) and an original clour pencil drawing by André Beaudin.
In a ?revorim? binding by Jean De Gonet, with his printed label at lower left of front paste down "j. de gonet 1991". Black covers which are of a matte black plastic-like material, blindstamped in a brick pattern and signed "de gonet artefacts". On the front cover inlays in red and grey with the title printed in blue. Green leather spine, two ?open? bands cut out of the leather, to expose the green cloth sewing supports. Grey suède pastedowns. Original wrappers decorated in colour by Beaudin bound in. With cardboard chemise and slipcase. Fascinating book with an original dedication drawing in a beautiful revorim binding of Jean de Gonet.
In 1986 Parisian designer bookbinder Jean de Gonet produced what he called an experimental Revorim (RIM, Reaction Injection Molding) binding. De Gonet invented this type of binding material in 1985 at the request of Dominque Bozo, then director of the Centre Beaubourg, and Daniel Abadie, conservateur de la Bibliothèque du Musée d?Art moderne, for the Concours Objet 2000 competition. This competition enabled de Gonet to finance a mold incorporating the brand "De Gonet, Artefacts" of which the first four proofs were bound as "Proto 1, 2, 3, and 4.". The new binding material that de Gonet invented is a rubber-like plastic similar to material used in the automobile industry. It is capable of being molded at low pressure.
Paul Éluard (1895-1952) was a French poet and one of the founders of the Surrealist movement. He became known worldwide as The Poet of Freedom and is considered the most gifted of French surrealist poets.
André Beaudin (1895-1979) was a French painter, engraver and sculptor born in Mennecy. He studied at the School of Decorative Arts in Paris and participated in close collaborations with friends, including Juan Gris, Max Jacob, and Paul Éluard, knowing how to surround himself and seduce the greatest artists, writers and poets of his time. Picasso said that "the lack of knowledge of Beaudin's work constitutes one of the greatest injustices of our time.? In 1962, Beaudin was awarded in the Grand Prix National des Arts and had a long series of exhibitions in France and abroad until 1970.
Issued in 991 copies, this is one of the 960 copies on "hélio mat supérieur" (no. 934).
