Couverture souple. Condition: Comme neuf. Edition originale. Paris 1994. 1 Volume/1. -- Parfait état -- Broché semi rigide . Format étroit in-8°( 27,8 x 12,5 cm )( 670 gr ). ------- 255 pages richement illustrées. *********** Présentation du 4e de couverture : "" L'art de Sengaï, reconnaissait André Malraux, laisse le spectateur… occidental perplexe : aucun art extrême-oriental, poursuivait-il, n'est aussi éloigné du nôtre, et de nous ". Chaque fois que le sens des légendes inscrites par Sengaï en marge de ses peintures nous est dévoilé, nous comprenons un peu mieux les raisons de ce malentendu. Car, par leur signification et leur graphisme, les mots ont autant d'importance que le sujet. Du fait que ces courts textes souvent en forme de poèmes, avec leurs citations implicites, leurs allusions facétieuses, leurs sous-entendus nous échappent, nous n'obtenons des oeuvres qu'une perception mutilée. Mais, en un sens, cela est vrai de toute la peinture extrême-orientale, indissociable de la calligraphie, et pas seulement parce que celle-ci y tient presque toujours une place. Chaque chose représentée arbre, rocher, cours d'eau, maison, sentier, montagne - au-delà de son apparence sensible, reçoit une signification philosophique de la façon dont le peintre la figure et la situe dans un ensemble organisé. '' ************* ref 51.
