Short Biography
Le Degré Quarante Et Un (The Forty-First Degree) is the name of the publishing house founded by Ilia Zdanevich (Iliazd) in 1948 in Paris, France. Building on his early Dada and Futurism experiences, Iliazd published a series of extremely luxurious and typographically innovative 'livres d'artiste'. These editions were a crucial contribution to the post-war avant-garde, exploring the boundaries of typography and book form in collaboration with master artists.
Connection to the Book World
The publishing house released groundbreaking 'livres d'artiste', featuring etchings by Picasso, Miró, and others. The books are monuments of typographical and graphic experimentation, with Iliazd considering the letter and layout as an integral part of the artwork, in the tradition of the Dada book. The books are invaluable to avant-garde bibliophily.
