Plate (facing page 28) from Les Chants de Maldoror (The Songs of Maldoror)
1934
One from an illustrated book with forty-two photogravure and drypoints after celluloid engravings
An abstract composition of fragmented forms, resembling bones and organic shapes, is rendered in black ink on a light background. The arrangement suggests a chaotic yet deliberate scattering of elements.
