Umberto Brunelleschi
Phili ou Par le Bien et le Mal

1921

About the Item

Hermant's “moralistic tale” is interpreted and illuminated by Brunelleschi's radically modern designs, which are found throughout the volume, both as 12 full-page plates and smaller vignettes. The illustrations were printed and colored in pochoir by the master Jean Saudé. Widely considered one of the loveliest books of the Art Deco period. A beautiful book in excellent condition; colors exceptionally fresh and vibrant. Numbered 215/275.
