專家說明

Saphire states that this image may have been intended for Christian Zervos's monograph on the artist published in 1952. The justification calls for an etching to accompany the 60 deluxe copies, but it was ultimately issued without one. Saphire records this 'Essai' impression as the only known proof prior to his edition published by Blue Moon Gallery in 1976.
