Context of the work

Sorry this section is only available in french for now.

Publié en plusieurs langues, et par les Ed. Ceuleers & Van de Velde en langue anglaise en 2002, le Catalogue « Raisonnable » des « livres » de Pierre Alechinsky répertorie pas moins de 553 références. On y voit l’attachement de l’artiste à la chose écrite : livres certes - textes, poésie-, mais journaux, revues, plaquettes, manifestes, etc. Consacrée à la peinture, à l’estampe, la vie de Pierre Alechinsky aura également été consacrée au « livre ». On sait que peu d’artiste on une connaissance aussi fine du livre que Pierre Alechinsky et l’on a souvent dit que peu de peintres ont autant de plaisir à se rendre à l’imprimerie, livres et estampes encore. Gérard Macé écrit : « Alechinsky est un lecteur actif, mais ce qu’il ajoute entre les lignes, ou dans les marges, n’est pas forcement de l’ordre du commentaire ». Les éditeurs (Maeght, Pierre-André Benoit, Y. Rivière ou Fata Morgana, etc.), comme les auteurs (C. Dotremont, Mansour, Butor, Tardieu, Cioran et tant d’autres), accompagnent l’artiste avec bonheur.
