€150.00
Poetry by Henri Noverraz with 9 tipped in images by Henriette Gindrat.
Hardcover edition of 20 copies printed on Arches a la Forme paper. Not numbered.
Metal pour musique is a significant artistic collaboration published in 1952 by Editions du Verbe. The work features original poetry written by Henri Noverraz, which is complemented by the visual contributions of Henriette Gindrat. Specifically, the volume includes nine tipped-in images created by Gindrat that interact with Noverraz's verses; as noted in bibliographic records, each image serves to illustrate a poem, though occasionally the relationship may be inverted or abstract. The publication is known for its high-quality production values, often described as being printed on thick paper and featuring hand-bound elements in certain limited editions. This work represents a fusion of literary and visual arts, where the interplay between text and image creates a cohesive aesthetic experience characteristic of mid-20th-century French avant-garde publications.
