Color, structure and the printed portrait
Jacques Villon’s paintings and prints explore the relationship between a recognizable subject and the organization of line, plane and color. His graphic work ranges from portraits and intimate scenes to images with a pronounced geometric structure.
Jacques Villon ou L’Art Glorieux joins Paul Éluard’s text with color lithographs. The cataloged presentation copy gives this artist–writer collaboration an additional history through its inscription to Fiske Kimball.

Books, portfolios and editions
For Jacques Villon material in book or portfolio form, useful distinctions include the issue or limitation, signatures and inscriptions, inserted or accompanying material, wrappers or binding, completeness, and documented provenance. Those details can separate an ordinary reading copy from a scarce association, presentation, or limited issue, so the Breething Books records emphasize the specific copy being described.
