First Edition
79 pp. The extremely rare catalogue raisonne of Soutine's drawings, all of which are intense portraits. According to some scholars, these drawings, although few in number and little known, constitute an important and intensely personal segment of his oeuvre. Other scholars, however, doubt whether these drawings (all of which are certainly by the same hand) should in fact be attributed to Soutine. Introduction by Lanthemann. 19 full-page plates. Large 4to. Original wraps. Tiny traces of wear to covers, else fine and bright. An important document, especially as no other drawings by Soutine are known to exist.
