Dealer Notes
Dunoyer de Segonzac's masterpiece - one of the great illustrated books of the 20th century.
Lioré et Cailler, Cat. de l'œuvre gravé de Dunoyer de Segonzac, 863-981; Le Peintre et le livre p.164, The Artist and the Book 281. One of 225 (of 250) numbered copies on 'vélin d'Arches'. Latin and French texts on opposite pages. 'Les Géorgiques' is one of Dunoyer de Segonzac's (1884-1974) most important works and one of the great illustrated books of the 20th century. The artist on this work: "Si j’ai choisi le thème des Géorgiques, c’est pour tenter d’accompagner d’eaux-fortes les scènes de la vie rurale qui sont demeurées presque les mêmes depuis l’Antiquité. De nos jours, la motorisation à outrance ayant envahi la vie des champs, il ne serait plus possible d’illustrer le texte de Virgile en observant la vie paysanne telle qu’elle est devenue".
