Wuthering Heights

Emily Bronte

Beschreibung

What could they have had in common-Count Balthazar Klossowski de Rola, the Paris-born modern artist (better known as Balthus) who has filled scores of canvases with paintings of female nudes, and Mistress Emily Brontë, the mid-nineteenth century British spinster who seems never to have left the Yorkshire moors? Precisely, those moors. In his youth, the Count visited that wild landscape and, in 1933, made a series of drawings based on her gripping novel. Some say that he saw himself as Heathcliff. Sixty-one years later, and after creating a vast array of famous paintings, many reminiscent of those drawings, Balthus agreed in 1994 to have The Limited Editions Club present, for the first time in their destined context, the entire suite of fifteen drawings. Happy to behold their fruition, Balthus wrote an Afterword for the book. Fifteen lithographs and Afterword by Balthus. Edition limited to 300 numbered copies. Each signed by Balthus. The Balthus drawings have been turned into lithographic plates and printed, in brown-toned black ink, on fine Japanese paper by Bruce Porter at his Trestle Editions in New York City. They were mounted on mould made paper from the Arches mill, in Epinal, France. The text was also printed on this paper, uniquely watermarked with the coat of arms of the family Klossowski de Rola. The book is bound in Nigerian goatskin dyed gray-green to suggest the Yorkshire moors. Linen covered and lined case. One Volume, 12-3/4 x 16-1/2 inches. As the publisher, we unconditionally guarantee that all books are authentic and the condition is As New (NOS). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-1554567472318
