    Born in 1907 in Aleppo (Syrian Arab Republic), member of the French Academy of Fine Arts, Carzou is the creator of an art that owes more to drawing than to painting and creates a deserted, phantasmagorical world described by Roger Caillois as “a universe in a state of shock, as though abandoned, untouched by climate or events, made of silence and emptiness”. His inimitable style, based on a profusion of horizontal and vertical lines, throws up unreal perspectives, but his fantastic landscapes and characters are nevertheless recognizable. The poster was produced in cooperation with the International Association of Art, from a lithograph published by Vision Nouvelle.
    1986
