Pantagruel, de François Rabelais, ilustrado por André Derain em edição de Albert Skira, 1943.

Technique: colour woodcut, letterpress text
 With 175 unsigned woodcuts printed in colour including initials, head- and tailpieces.

A National Gallery of Australia possui um exemplar deste que é um dos marcos da moderna ilustração de livros. A biblioteca do José Mindlin também tem. O Pantagruel de Derain é um monumento à arte de imprimir, um acontecimento notável, produzido no meio da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Derain passou dois anos trabalhando nas 179 xilogravuras deste livro.

Inspirado por cartas de baralho da Idade Média, cada ilustração foi impressa a partir de uma única matriz, com várias cores aplicadas à xilogravura simultaneamente. Este método exigente precisou de dois anos para imprimir todas as matrizes. O livro foi impresso por Lacourière, o grande artesão francês, mais conhecido por seu trabalho com gravura em metal.

Breughel

Paisagem com queda de Ícaro

Musee des Beaux Arts  

About suffering they were never wrong,
The old Masters: how well they understood
Its human position: how it takes place
While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along;
How, when the aged are reverently, passionately waiting
For the miraculous birth, there always must be
Children who did not specially want it to happen, skating
On a pond at the edge of the wood:
They never forgot
That even the dreadful martyrdom must run its course
Anyhow in a corner, some untidy spot
Where the dogs go on with their doggy life and the torturer's horse
Scratches its innocent behind on a tree.

In Breughel's Icarus, for instance: how everything turns away
Quite leisurely from the disaster; the ploughman may
Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry,
But for him it was not an important failure; the sun shone
As it had to on the white legs disappearing into the green
Water, and the expensive delicate ship that must have seen
Something amazing, a boy falling out of the sky,
Had somewhere to get to and sailed calmly on.
