Description

L'Arbre du Plaisir is a black and white linocut on ivory-colored paper, realized in 1945 by the Italian satiric master Mino Maccari (1898-1989). Hand-signed with the pseudonym of "Jean Barbe" and numbered in pencil and in Arabic numerals on the lower margin. Edition of 300 prints. From the collection On s'amuse: 16 gravures en bois par Jean Barbe realized by the Italian illustrator and published by Documento, Rome. In 1945, Mino Maccari published a folder containing 16 linoleums with a strongly erotic subject matter, titled On s' amuse!. Because of the scandalous subject for the time, he signed with the pseudonym of Jean Barbe. The circulation is of 300 copies, 40 "before letter", numbered in Roman numerals, hand-painted by Maccari himself and signed by him "J.B." Reference: Francesco Meloni, Mino Maccari: reasoned catalog of engravings. Milan: Electa, 1979.
