La métromanie ou les dessous de la capitale. Paris, E. und J. Desjobert 1949.
Erste Ausgabe des wichtigen Malerbuches.
1 von 125 numerierten Exemplaren auf "papier de chiffon gris souris". - "Jean Dubuffet was the most important and outspoken French artist of the postwar era. A man of uncompromising ideas, his art is linked to the concept he himself originated, art brut, which denotes a spontaneous, unconscious, and anti-artistic quality. His art ranges from expressionistic figuration to abstraction of a severe and very conceptual form. Versatile in painting, drawing and sculpture, Dubuffet was an accomplished printmaker who produced a considerable number of artist's books." (Logan Coll. 147)
