François Villon / Albert Dubout - Villon (Œuvres) - 1933

Beautiful numbered edition 1564 of 3000 and illustrated with 67 superb color compositions from this collection that pairs the poetic verve of the great medieval poet with the satirical, bustling graphic universe of Dubout, creating a singular encounter between the 15th and the 20th centuries -

The volume gathers the main texts of Villon – notably the Lais, the Testament, and the ballads – where his lively, slangy and lyrical language unfolds, oscillating between meditations on death, celebrations of tavern life, portraits of outcasts and moral reflections -

Dubout accompanies these works with incisive, grotesque and humorous drawings, visually translating the energy, audacity and darkness of the Villon world, while offering a modern and ironic reading of the medieval figures -
