Square 8vo. (168 x 174 mm). [57 square bifolia]. Illustrated with 34 monochrome etchings with burin by Genevi�ve Asse, one double-page. Loose as issued in original publisher's printed colour wrapper by Asse, blue cloth box. Genevi�ve Asse's beautiful and austere illustrations for Pierre Lecuire's 'Litres'. From the edition limited to 52 numbered copies, with this one of 35 on Auvergne paper, signed by the author and the artist in pencil. 'Grande dame de la peinture fran�aise, dont elle est une repr�sentante �minente, Genevi�ve Asse est d'abord identifi�e par une couleur incomparable, le 'bleu Asse' dont elle d�cline les innombrables modulations . Au d�but des ann�es 1960, les objets, les nus et les paysages s'effacent progressivement de sa peinture pour laisser place � une exploration abstraite de l'�space, rendue par les seules vibrations atmosph�riques de la lumi�re.' (Christian Briend). ''Litre' d�signe une unit� des mesures de capacit�. Le titre de ce livre exprime m�taphoriquement la capacit� humaine d'aimer et de souffrir, de sentir et de cr�er.' (From the text).
