Paperback with flaps, 280x240mm, 280p, 250 bw and col. illustrations, English/ French edition. ISBN 9788836634163. Connu pour la liberte et la creativite dans son travail de peinture, ce membre du groupe CoBrA maitrise egalement parfaitement les techniques de l'imprimerie. Pierre Alechinsky, artiste de notoriete internationale, a commence a l'ecole de La Cambre en Belgique, en suivant les cours de typographie et d'illustration de livres et d'affiches. C'est cette partie peut-etre moins etudiee de son oeuvre que le musee departemental Matisse a choisi de mettre en lumiere dans l'exposition Marginalia. Plume et pinceaux et dans le catalogue qui l'accompagne. L'exposition organisee autour d'?uvres peintes et de gravures aura pour theme central les recherches de Pierre Alechinsky autour des livres illustres, les correspondances qu?elles induisent et l'influence qu'a pu avoir Henri Matisse dans son parcours. Pierre Alechinsky a en commun avec l'artiste fondateur du musee du Cateau-Cambresis, une tres importante production de livres illustres, "decores" aurait dit Matisse. Mais, il ne va pas se contenter "d'enluminer", comme ecrit Jacques Reda, une impressionnante serie d?ouvrages, issue de belles collaborations avec de nombreux ecrivains (tels que Pierre-Andre Benoit dit PAB, Christian Dotremont ou encore Marcel Moreau). Comme pour lui le dialogue avec le mot est un souci constant, il va egalement jouer avec eux dans de facetieux calembours ou joyeuses contre-petries. Ce catalogue illustre la richesse et l'inventivite des oeuvres nees de ces allers-retours entre les differentes techniques du peintre qui vient de l'imprimerie et l'apport notamment de Matisse. Il comprend des textes de Yves Peyre, Celine Chicha-Castex, Itzhak Goldberg, Patrice Deparpe, Pierre Alechinsky. Sous la direction de Patrice Deparpe et la coordination de Nadege Cardot 0 g.
