Madrigaux
Madrigaux is a 1920 Paris livre de luxe published by Éditions de la Sirène, with verse by Stéphane Mallarmé illustrated by Raoul Dufy and bound by Renée Haas for collectors of fine printing. The colour pictures show elegant couples, a woman with a parasol, and a woman in a red dress holding roses, drawn in loose, sketchy lines with flat washes of colour. A designer might take the airy line-and-wash style, the pale palette of pinks, blues and greens, and the easy spacing of figures on plain cream pages.
