Unpaginated; illustrated with eight aquatints by Maria Sepiol, three of which are printed in color. Text is in French. In a striking, free-form sculpture binding by Modern French Bookbinder, Daniel Knoderer. The flowing, abstract shaped covers are extended beyond the square form of the book and feature inlays of various colors and grains of morocco leathers, with free-form gilt-tooled details, and a special, semi-transparent plastic panel in the front cover, with the title lettered in black. The inner covers are also inlaid with a mosaic of colored papers, and with blue endpapers, which are visible through the plastic, and through an open section in the back cover. The son of bookbinders, Knoderer was born in 1948 at Sartrouville, France. He began binding at an early age, and is now considered one of France's most important binders. The most distinctive feature of his Art Deco-influenced style of binding, is his rejection of the traditional rectangular boards in favor of softly curved shapes. This book was exhibited at the Grolier Club in New York, in 1988, at the: "Reliure Francaise Contemporaine", an exhibition organized by "Les Amis de la Reliure Originale" (Number 58 in the catalogue).
