"I was fortunate and pleased to have been one of the first to recognize J.J.J. J. RIGAL's career when he began in 1935 at the age of eight. ....] It is as a poet that he uses all the techniques of engraving and, with particular success, colour. Colour, which is the expansion and effusion of nature, and which therefore fits perfectly with the freest poetic imagination, is treated here with the same delicate, subtle meticulousness as the severe and rigorous elements of black and white engraving. Thus J.J.J.J. RIGAL continuously maintains in him a living complicity between the poet and the skilled person."

Jean CASSOU, 1978

Founded in 1948 in Limoges by René Rougerie, les éditions Rougerie offers a beautiful catalogue of contemporary poetry and artists' books. The singularity of the books published by Rougerie also comes from their publication on site by a very old press, and from the fidelity to typography.

Very attractive example.
