André Billy / Lobel-Riche - Visions de Danse - 1949

Charming illustrated and numbered edition of this bibliophile work that pairs the literary pen of a French writer of the 20th century with the refined graphic universe of an illustrator renowned for his sensual and elegant compositions -

Billy's text, imbued with lyricism and modernity, explores the theme of dance as a metaphor for vitality, the aesthetic impulse, and bodily grace, linking it to poetic and critical visions of art -

The illustrations by Lobel-Riche, finely engraved and often marked by stylized sensuality, extend and amplify the text by giving body to the female figures and to the choreographic movements -

She illustrates the meeting between literature and the visual arts in the French tradition of the illustrated book, where dance becomes a motif of aesthetic celebration and poetic transfiguration -

Very beautiful work - a favorite -
