Le trou de serrure

SKU LETR-001

€420.00

Robert Crégut's poetic collection "Le trou de serrure" is an iconic example of the post-war French "livre d'artiste." Illustrated by the versatile Raoul Ubac, known for his work in photography, painting, and graphic arts, this book embodies the fruitful collaboration between avant-garde artists and poets. Published by the influential Le Soleil Noir, a hotbed for surrealist and post-surrealist experimentation, this edition is distinguished by an original etching that perfectly reflects Ubac's abstract and organic formal language. It is tangible proof of how French book art in the 1960s broke new ground, forging a symbiotic relationship between text and image. The combination of Crégut's poetry and Ubac's illustrations creates a visual and literary work of lasting significance. This particular copy, enriched with personal inscriptions from both the author and the artist, offers a rare glimpse into the personal relationship between the creators and adds unique provenance to the book's bibliographic value. The unconventional design of Le Soleil Noir reinforces the artistic ambition, making this work a crucial document in the history of modern French book art.

Product DETAIL

Beautya's 1st revitalizing serum that concentrates the double power of the Rose de Granville from the stem to the flower to revitalize the skin twice as fast (1) and visibly rejuvenate.


Created after 20 years of research, the 10,000 (2) micro-pearls rich in revitalizing rose micro-nutrients are now completed by the power of the Rose sap. The next-generation, 92% natural-origin (3) formula of La Micro-Huile de Rose Advanced Serum is twice as concentrated,(4) combining the nourishing richness of an oil with the deep penetration of a serum.
