Volume 1 of the series: Maximillien de Lafayette in Black and White Maximillien de Lafayette’s black and white paintings, posters and lithographs are out of this world. The multiple layers of his black and white shades transform his palette into a magical world. Dr. John Chen, Laureate of the United Nations/UNESCO said, "Lafayette is one of the greatest visionary artists of the seventies." Lafayette did not pursue his career as an artist, despite his global success in the early seventies. He rebelled against the art institutions, and specifically museums curators, for he thought that art is no longer an expression of the mind and the soul, but a business ticket in the hand of curators, agents and manipulators. So he quit. In this book, we rediscover him as one of the most innovative and creative artists of our time. This book retraces the magic and beauty of his black and white paintings. Do not miss this book! It is a rare opportunity to witness Lafayette’s genius and multiple dimensions.
