Chanson de toile
An anonymous love song of the twelfth century inspired Judith Rothchild to create a series of six four-color screen prints. The brightly colored images, relatively abstract in form, but based on motifs of fragments of cloth, are printed on a long sheet of Rives BFK which is folded into a leporello. The text on semi-transparent Japanese paper is inserted. The books, in red screen printed wrappers with a silver motif, are presented in coral colored slipcases. All the books are signed by the artist..
The letterpress is printed by Mark Lintott, Claude Vallin made the slipcases, and the screen prints are hand printed by the artist. Format 8 x 6 ½ in. unfolding to a screen 60 in. long. The edition of 25 copies was published in 1998. The text is in French. Format 8 ½ x 6 ½ in.
