The Limits of Art. Conference. Paris, Petite collection de l'Ermitage, 1901. Booklet in-12 [187 x 140] of 27 pp. paperback. First edition dedicated to Maurice Denis: it was printed at 150 numbered copies on Hollande Van Gelder (nº 111). Conference intended for the exhibition of the Independent Artists of 1901, but which was never delivered. André Gide exposes the very foundations of his aesthetic by developing the idea that art is born from its limits and lives to push them back. A perfectly preserved copy.
