In the studio of Leonardo Cremonini, the complete works of his prints illustrate in their exhaustiveness the very recent donation of 200 prints by the artist to the Beaux-Arts de Paris. Written by Anne-Marie Garcia, curator of the eponymous exhibition, this is the first book to be devoted to the artist's hitherto unsuspected multiples, and provides the opportunity to publish the first catalogue raisonné of Leonardo Cremonini's engraved work.
This lavishly illustrated book includes a personal account by Pietro Cremonini, the artist's son, as well as key writings by Louis Althusser, Michel Butor, Italo Calvino, Régis Debray, Umberto Eco and Alberto Moravia, all contemporaries of the painter. It also includes previously unpublished extracts from the artist's correspondence with the prestigious Il Bisonte publishing house and the Adriano Olivetti Foundation. Thus enriched by this exceptional anthology of texts with unique perspectives, this work allows us to grasp the magnificence of the work of this major artist of the second half of the twentieth century.
