I - 'Quel virtuose! Le Blanc et le Noir. Un peintre ambigu. L'époque des fureurs.';
II - ''Comme c'est donc beau', dit-on. De quelques matières précieuses. Ou l'ambiguité se fait peinture. L'époque des éblouissements.';
III - 'Les critiques n'ont pas tort, mais ... à chaque tableau son double. Eloge de l'oeil normal. L'époque des otages.';
Biographical text - 'Fautrier lui-même'.

The five large reproductions of paintings by Fautrier were printed by Mourlot. The other original prints were executed on Fautrier's own press. Also included, loosely inserted, is an additional colour reproduction not called for.
