Dutrou, Paris. - "The publisher Louis Broder had great success with his small volumes >Miroir du poète<: The poetic-enigmatic titles taken from poems alone make for a unique atmosphere. The seven volumes - except for the Arp volume- with subtle etchings in colors by renowned artists from the École de Paris - invite to read much more than other artist books and communicate an ideal encounter of text and image. All the texts are anthology-like compilations from the works of renowned poets" (Translation from Lucius). - Delicate book, striking for its filigree title etching in black and red and Miró's strong etchings. - Spine slightly discolored.
