THE MARITIMES
Jean Bach-Sisley
A livre de peintre of poetry about the impact of the First World War on the poet, either figuratively or literally. Issued in 1923 as an enclosed set of cards, and illustrated by painter and fashion designer Michel Dubost.
As with the best livres des peintres, the text and images complement each other yet remain separate in a way that seems to oscillate the attention.
