Albert Camus / Carzou - Carnets [Mai 1935-Mars 1951] - 1965

A very fine edition of the first two volumes of Albert Camus's famous autobiography.

It is superbly illustrated with 17 original lithographs by Jean Carzou, a French painter, lithographer, engraver, and decorator of Armenian origin. He illustrated numerous books by the greatest authors of his time.

As Patrick-F. Barrer noted, "deliberately remaining outside the major pictorial movements, Jean Carzou, while perfectly situating his work within an era of which he was a witness, was able to invent, impose, and preserve a most distinctive style."

Carzou thus remains "among the most important artists of our time: he translated its anxieties, dangers, grandiose and agonizing achievements better than anyone else, but, and this is his originality, he knew how to express them with poetry" -
