- Edition Information:
- There is 1 known variant impression of state IV, outside the editioned series of portfolios, "Les Arbres" (1-6). There are 2 impressions of state IV, in the edition.
The editioned series of portfolios, "Les Arbres" (1-6), is not a traditional edition in that each portfolio is unique. Varying compositions, hand additions, and sheet sizes occur throughout the portfolios. Portfolio (1) includes 10 compositions, while Portfolios (2-6) each contain 8 compositions.
Included in all 6 portfolios are 5 specific drypoint compositions that appear in the same order. However, the states of these compositions, and their hand additions, vary.
Portfolio (1) is different from all the others in the series, not only because it includes 10 compositions, but also because 5 of the 10 compositions are drawings. The drypoints are the same 5 compositions noted above as being in every portfolio; the drawings are new compositions entirely.
Portfolios (2-6) each contain 3 drypoint compositions on fabric, in addition to the 5 drypoint compositions noted above. The drypoint compositions on fabric vary from portfolio to portfolio. - Impression:
- "3/6" lower center colophon, pencil, artist's hand.
- Curatorial Remarks:
- Compositions on paper are set into the portfolio pages with Gampi paper mounting corners, as can be seen here. Compositions on fabric are sewn to the pages of the bound "Les Arbres" portfolios.
- Descriptive Title:
- English translation: "The Trees"
- Description:
- Drypoint, with red watercolor additions
- State Changes and Additions:
- Changes from state III in drypoint: distress marks increased overall.
