Signed at the foot of the composition in the plate. Reference: Michler & Löpsinger, no. 86. Printed by Forêt and published by Lacourière-Frélaut. Small margins. Inspired by the gigantism of the tapestry of the Apocalypse of Angers and by the extent of the threats of the Cold War, the art publisher Joseph Forêt begins in 1958 an edition of "L'Apocalypse de Saint Jean" which aspires to be a monumental book, a strictly contemporary counterpart to Jean Lurçat's Chant du monde. 21 engravings or paintings of the same size must accompany it. Joseph Foret has asked seven artists who are emblematic of the artistic trends of the time to accompany it: Bernard Buffet, Léonard Foujita, Georges Mathieu, Leonor Fini, Pierre-Yves Trémois, Ossep Zadkine & Salvador Dali. 52 x 42.5 cm. State B (Some freckles).
