Jim Dine's vivid, candid and detailed reminiscences about his
friendship and working relationship with Aldo Crommelynck, the
printer of Matisse and Picasso, over a period now of more than 30
years are full of affection, humour and layer upon layer of
information. In conversations with the art historian Marco
Livingstone, Dine, one of the greatest post-war American artists,
charts the extent to which his experience of working with a man who
was not only a great printer, but also a skilled draughtsman, an
aesthete, dandy and bon viveur, coloured and enriched his
experience of France on every level, from an appreciation of its
art and culture, its city life and countryside, to its food and its
specialist shops - especially those in which to find the best tools
and musical instruments.Dine's ruminations take some unexpected but
illuminating detours, even into the making of bespoke bicycles,
that prove deeply revealing of the specific nature of his love for
France and of his many debts to an esteemed colleague, fellow
traveller and much loved friend.
