Sarane ALEXANDRIAN.
Victor Brauner the illuminator. Paris, Editions Cahiers d'Art, 1954.

Original edition: limited edition of 500 copies.
One of the few copies out of print on vellum from Holland, signed by the author and the painter, and enriched with an original etching in double state, one of which is colored, by Victor Brauner.
First book by Sarane Alexandrian (1927-2009), art historian, essayist and novelist: he joined the Surrealist group in 1947. He had to leave shortly afterwards with his friend Victor
Brauner to protest against Matta's exclusion.
A unique copy enriched with eight original drawings in colour by Victor Brauner, one of which is entitled "Unanimous Congress", with a signed autograph:
To Jacques Legendre for his patience, his kindness [sic] in the service of life, my profound gratitude and my friendship, Victor Brauner 1954.
Of the seven other original compositions in ink or pencil and gouache, four are full-page.
Brauner's coloured etching also bears a consignment to Jacques Legendre.
