Book Ubú painter-Afred Jarry and the arts
Objectives
The Ubú Pintor – Alfred Jarry and the Arts project aims to explore and materialize the visual universe of Alfred Jarry through a publishing proposal that transcends the traditional format of the art book.
Jarry (1873-1907) was a French writer, playwright, and poet, considered a key figure of the literary avant-garde and a precursor of movements such as Surrealism and the Theatre of the Absurd.
This book seeks to create a piece aimed at both specialists and collectors, in which the conceptual value of the content is reinforced by a high level of technical and material execution.
Furthermore, the multilingual edition reflects the desire to project his artistic and literary legacy internationally.
This work is not just a book, but a collector’s item that explores the visual universe of one of the most disruptive authors in the history of literature.
The Project
We have produced this limited edition of 2,500 copies in various languages.
The book stands out for its large format (270 x 325 mm), which allows for optimal viewing of the illustrations and fosters an immersive experience.
The selection of materials combines high-quality papers such as Munken Print Cream and Woodstock Grigio, providing visual and sensory richness.
The Otabind binding guarantees a completely flat 180° opening, improving both the usability and durability of the volume, especially in reference or display contexts.
Each copy also includes exclusive elements, such as a unique die-cut insert and an information booklet, which enrich the user experience from the first touch.
All of this has been developed under a demanding production process, ensuring the highest standards of the current graphic arts industry.
