A study on Roger Vieillard (1907-1989), regarded as one of the greatest French engravers of the 20th century, who rejected colour printing. His election to the French Academie des Beaux-Arts in the year of his death was a final recognition of his work over the last 55 years. During this time he had made over 430 engravings and 15 Livres d'artiste. He himself classified his subjects as architectural motifs, the human figure and subjects of pure poetry - abstract forms, textures, movement, light and shadow.
