VOLTAIRE [Alain Bonnefoit] - Lot 299
VOLTAIRE [Alain Bonnefoit] Candide ou l'Optimiste Paris, 1979, published for the Bibliophiles de la librairie Anavoizard, folio in blue moire slipcase, 18 original engravings by Alain Bonnefoit all signed by the artist. EDITION OF 53 COPIES ON JAPON NACRE. Includes an original copperplate (the frontispiece portrait of Voltaire). Alain Bonnefoit was born in Paris in 1937. He trained first at the École des Arts Appliqués, then at the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris. But it was his time at the Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles, under the aegis of engraver Claude Lyr, and his apprenticeship in the studio of Antonuicci Volti, that were to determine his artistic direction. From then on, the female body became the main subject of her artistic expression.
