Jacques Villeglé's 'Petit Vocabulaire' Offers Intimate Glimpses into the Artist's World
Jacques Villeglé's 'Petit Vocabulaire', published by Pierre Huguet éditeur, presents a collection of around one hundred entries offering personal, scholarly, polemical, prosaic, poetic, wise, and surprising insights into the artist's life and work. The entries cover his family, travels, friendships, working methods, and reflections on art and his era.
