| Summary: | This documentary film describes the history and production of contemporary fine art bookmaking, the art form of "livres d'artistes", or, books with graphic works that are hand made creations produced in limited editions and are collaborations between writers and artists. It looks at the fine artist books published by Vincent FitzGerald and Company in New York. It follows the ancient legacy of combining the ideas of the writer with the vision of the artist and the skill of the printer. Interviews with writers, artists, papermakers, printers and curators offer insight into this creative process. |
