Notre exemplaire est enrichi d'une belle lettre manuscrite datée et signée, de deux pages, d'Abram Krol à Charles Dobzynski dans laquelle il loue la clairvoyance révélatrice de la préface qui confine à l'osmose avec ses oeuvres : ". N'êtes-vous pas poète pour savoir la joie que l'on éprouve lorque l'on se sent compris, deviné. Votre nouveau texte habille mes suites qui, par moment, souffraient peu-être d'une trop grande diversité. Mais que voulez-vous, vous me montrez, vous nous montrez tels que nous sommes, hommes de deux versants, génération de transition, arbres transplantés." Sur la troisième page de la lettre, Abram Krol a encollé un burin original qu'il a signé provenant de la suite du livre de Ruth et en-dessous duquel il a ajouté ces mots : "Ainsi on célébrait chez nous Hanouka !" | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] First edition on current paper. Illustrated book of many reproductions of works engraved with Abram Krol. Preface by Charles Dobzynski. Our copy is enriched with a beautiful, dated and signed two-page manuscript letter from Abram Krol to Charles Dobzynski in which he praises the revealing clairvoyance of the preface which borders on osmosis with his works: ". N Are you not a poet to know the joy you feel when you feel understood, guessed, your new text dresses up my suites, which, at times, suffered little from too much diversity. you show me, you show us as we are, men of two sides, generation of transition, transplanted trees . " On the third page of the letter, Abram Krol pasted an original chisel that he signed from the continuation of the book of Ruth and below which he added these words: "So we celebrated Hanukah!" *.

Krol traveled to France in 1938 to study civil engineering at the University of Caen. In 1939, at the beginning of World War II he joined the Foreign Legion. After he was demobilized, he became a mechanic at a garage in Avignon. Although he was Jewish he survived the war using false indentities.In 1943 Krol began studying art, taking courses in sculpture at the School of Fine Art. During this time he described himself as a "Sunday painter." In 1944 he moved to Paris. After the war, he took up engraving, studying with fellow ex-patriot Joseph Hecht, who was also Jewish and from Lodz and taught S.W. Hayter engraving and encouraged him to start what became Atelier 17. The first exhibition of his works was at the Katia Granoff Gallery in Paris in 1946.Krol illustrated over 20 literary works from the late 1940s through the 1960s. He also engraved medals for the Paris mint and painted murals for the French school system. He also designed tapestries and painted over 200 enamels. His work can be found in the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris; the Victoria & Albert Museum, London; The British Museum, London; Houghton Library at Harvard in Boston; Bodleian Library, Oxford and the Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco. In 1960 he was invited to exhibit at the Venice Biennale. He exhibited extensively throughout the world, winning many awards.

    Chez l'artiste, 1995. In folio oblong en feuilles sous couverture et carton à dessin portant une vignette contrecollée, 1 feuillet de textes, une suite de 12 burins, joint : une gravure sur chine contrecollée sur un japon nacré. Exemplaire nominatif signé de l'artiste. Tirage limité à seulement 24 exemplaires.Fo unbound sheets under a drawing folder, a sheet of text, a suite of 12 copperplates ; enclosed a plate on rice paper stuck on japanese vellum signed by the artist. Limited edition : only 24 copies. This one named copy signed by A. Krol. "Né en 1919 à Pabianice, près de Lodz, en Pologne, Krol (1919-2001) arrive en France en 1938 pour faire des études à l'Institut Technique de Normandie. En 1940, Krol quitte la Normandie pour s'engager dans la Légion Étrangère. Démobilisé après l'armistice, il se retrouve à Avignon en Zone Libre, sans le sous, loin de toute famille, et cherche un travail pour subsister. Il devient manoeuvre dans un garage. Il cherche ensuite à se faire embaucher par un ébéniste, dont l'atelier lui semble un havre de paix, d'ordre et de propreté. Ce dernier lui conseille de suivre les cours du dimanche de l'École des Beaux-Arts d'Avignon. Particulièrement exposé en raison de ses origines juives, Krol échappe de justesse à une rafle et parvient à rejoindre Paris sous une fausse identité. Il apprendra plus tard que ses parents restés en Pologne avaient été exterminés par les Nazis. En 1947, Krol fait la connaissance du graveur Joseph Hecht (1891-1951) qui lui apprend le burin. À la fin des années 1950, il se met ainsi à créer de grandes gravures combinant les techniques du burin et de l'aquatinte en couleurs. Ces gravures s'éloignent résolument de l'austérité des burins classiques et s'apparentent dans leur rendu et leur forme à une nouvelle forme d'imagerie populaire." (Pierre-Yves Corbel).
