Item description from seller

Beautifully illustrate with six original color lithographs, including dustjacket, some forty b/w high quality reproductions of paintings and watercolors by Carzou, and additional color reproductions of his work, several of them double-page. The paintings and watercolors were reproduced under the direction of the artist in collaboration with Louis Duval and Charles Solier. The lithographs were produced by the artist and printed at the Mourlot Frères Press. Contains several pages of press write-ups of Carzou's art at rear, with table listing the fifty artworks presented in this volume. Text in French. Light age-toning of block, mostly along edges and not affecting artwork. "Jean Carzou was an Armenian-French painter and illustrator, recognized for his illustrations that graced the pages of the novels by Ernest Hemingway and Albert Camus. Born in Syria in 1907 as Karnik Zouloumian, into an Armenian family, the artist was first educated in Cairo, Egypt, before moving to Paris, where he studied art and architecture. Carzou, like his contemporaries, Dali, and Picasso, was part of a generation that witnessed many wars. Haunted to the point of obsession by the horrors he had witnessed, Carzou's style went through a period where the artist seemed to be desperate to remind the world of the horrors of the past. Today, his works have permanent homes in America, Great Britain, Egypt, Japan and his adopted homeland, France." (Mourlot Editions).…
