Pierre Alechinsky, an internationally renowned artist known for the freedom and creativity in his painting, actually began his career through printing and engraving. It is this perhaps less studied part of his work that this catalog highlights: the research around illustrated books and the connections they induce. "Decorated" books, as Matisse would have said - whose contribution to Alechinsky's art is very important - in which the dialogue with the word is a constant concern and translates into valuable collaborations with numerous writers (André Breton, Michel Butor, Hugo Claus, EM Cioran, Christian Dotremont, Eugène Ionesco, Marcel Moreau, PAB (Pierre-André Benoit), Salah Stétié, Roland Topor...). So many back and forths between different approaches and techniques of a painter, here reader, draftsman, engraver.
