[Paris], Cercle d'art, [1991]. 207,[1] pp. Col. & b./w. ills. Orig. hardcover (red lettered grey cloth over boards), d./j. Sm. folio.A French-language monograph on the French abstract painter Olivier Debré (1920-1999). The book contains in-depth texts on Debré's life and body of work, and is richly illustrated with numerous color and black-and-white images of his art. Following a visit to Pablo Picasso's studio in 1941, Olivier Debré-already a celebrated artist and member of the French Academy at the time-made the transition from figurative painting to abstraction. Furthermore, it was the influence of André Lanskoy, a Russian painter and printmaker active in France, that ignited his pronounced penchant for color.
