Durenceau, André, (1904-1985) Durenceau, André.
Published by H.C. Perleberg, , Woodstock, New York (1928)
: H.C. Perleberg, , Woodstock, New York, 1928. Cloth-backed Boards. Condition: Good. 24 color plates, loose as issued, with 128 abstract and semi-abstract designs printed by silkscreen in pochoir by the Birnbaum-Jackson Co, Philadelphia, in portfolio, 14" x 17.5", with color cover design. (Apparently there were some leave of text published with the plates, but they are not present in this portfolio).
Condition: Corner and edges of portfolio rubbed; most of the plates are chipped at 1 or 2 corner/edges (not affecting the compositions). The artist, André Durenceau, was born in France and emigrated to the United States at the age of nineteen. His Inspirations was one of the first and most ambitious projects in pochoir produced in America. Pochoir was a type of screen printing used extensively in the printing of Art Deco portfolios and fashion periodicals in Paris in the 1920s, but rarely used in the United States, Durenceau's Inspirations being the first major portfolio of pochoir printing published in the U.S. The New York Public Library has digitalized the twenty-four plates and made them available on line, and occasionally individual plates appear on the market at prices ranging from $75 to $200 per plate, but complete suites of the original printings are rare, and digital images do not do them justice
