Bal, Eduard et al. Schraenen, Guy (éditeur)
Antwerp. Guy Schraenen éditeur. 1974
Postcard-portfolio by 15 artists working in Guy Schraenen's publishing house.
From the 'tirage illimité.'
Contributions by the artists Eduard Bal, René Bertholo, Bram Bogart, Lourdes Castro, Henri Chopin, Antoine de Bary, Hugo De Clercq, Gilbert Decock, Degottex, Jo Delahaut, Henri Gabriel, Rene Guiette, Brion Gysin, Bernard Heidsieck and Françoise Janicot.
'Why these 15 post-cards: receiving a post-card is certainly pleasant: it proves that somewhere, somebody is thinking of you. For those who are receiving it as well as for those who are sending it, a picture is a way of discovery.
Why these 15 artists: because these artists are painters or poets, for whom I organised exhibitions or poetical meetings. I mean that the present edition of post-cards would allow the diffusion of known and less known works and would also give the possibility to illustrate some aspects of actual art. In this first serial, I want to present 15 personalities which are true creators, and who for this edition have been 'creating' works, so that these cards are not reproductions but 'original post-cards'.' (G. S.)
