Georges Visat

About this book

Catalog comprising a representative selection of works made primarily in etching and aquatint, and that accounts for the career of Georges Visat (France 1910-2001), artist, writer, printer and one of the most significant French publishers in 20th century European graphics. "The itinerant exhibition "Georges Visat. El ojo surrealista, París 1940-1990" (2013-2014) was the result of the work of his daughter Armelle Visast, who under the curatorship of Yannick Minous and Lilia Prado Canchola offers a map that allows us to observe the huge corpus of this printer. This publication - which bears the same name as the exhibition - groups both the work he printed, as well as works he acquired, or he received as presents. This set of 88 graphic works, 9 art books and 14 archived photographs from an archive are a magnificent showcase to know his enormous work. In his legacy, Man Ray's lesser-known works stand out and first-edition prints, in small runs." (HKB Translation) --Page [11]
