Description
Jim Dine's vivid and candid reminiscences about his friendship with Aldo Crommelynck, a printer who worked with Matisse and Picasso, offer a unique insight into their 30-year working relationship. Dine shares stories of how Crommelynck not only printed his work but also influenced his appreciation of France, from its art and culture to its city life, countryside, food, and specialist shops. The author's experiences are full of affection, humor, and interesting anecdotes. These reminiscences provide a fascinating glimpse into the specific nature of Dine's love for France and his debts to Crommelynck, a skilled draughtsman, aesthete, and bon vivant.
