Description
Powerful Herbert List bifolio from the 1939 Paris art review Verve. One face shows a large close-up portrait titled “Cretan Shepherds, 1939”; the reverse carries a second List shepherd portrait, and the center features a dramatic full-bleed double-page photograph of fragmented classical statuary-three striking images on one original sheet. Printed in rich heliogravure on quality wove stock, this is a scarce, frame-worthy leaf from Tériade’s celebrated review.
