At the crossroads of poetry and art, Le Bestiaire ou Cortège d’Orphée brings together the pen of Guillaume Apollinaire and the gesture of Miquel Barceló in an exceptional work. This art- ist’s book, conceived as a vibrant tribute to the poet’s imagination, gives birth to an incandescent bestiary, as erudite as it is wild.
Miquel Barceló deploys twenty-four original color lithographs, produced at the Atelier Clot, Bramsen & Co in Paris. Folded into triptychs and printed on BFK Rives paper, they form a procession of powerful, organic images, in which each animal becomes the embodiment of a vital force, a symbol, a mystery. The plates, punc- tuated by the artist’s engraved culs-de-lampe, are accompanied by calligraphic titles and texts in his own hand, giving the whole a coherence that is both plastic and poetic.
This limited-edition book is housed in a wooden box covered with printed canvas, hot-stamped by Barceló himself. It is the thirty-third entry in the Une rêverie émanée de mes loisirs collection - a total, sensory work that combines the power of line, the memory of words and the spirit of great books.
This set constitutes the complete edition of Une rêverie émanée de mes loisirs XXXIII.
