FINI, Leonor. Fruits de la Passion.

(Paris): Éditions des Maîtres du XXe Siècle, 1980. First edition. Hardcover. 44.4 by 37.5cm. One of the most visually striking of Leonor Fini’s late artist’s books, pairing thirty-two sensuous and dreamlike colour plates with an original text by Jean-Claude Dedieu. The volume explores the artist’s enduring preoccupations with metamorphosis, eroticism, myth, and feminine power, presenting a sequence of enigmatic images that blur the boundaries between the human, animal, and fantastical worlds. A very good copy in dust jacket, with publisher’s plain card slipcase.
