Beautiful Derek Beaulieu catalogue

Cover of the Derek Beaulieu catalogue saisonee, surrounded by other printed ephemera

Here's a wonderful Catalogue Saisonee by Paper View for the brilliant visual poet and artist Derek Beaulieu.

It's a small but incredible book, ~180 pages of texture and surprises, from the binding to the mix in production techniques and papers. It's lovingly designed by someone who knows and respects the subject. I particularly love the use of halftone screens on the monochrome images, and the cover is truly great. It's also a broad selection of his work, with lots of  form, colour, and transparencies and overlays. It includes his letraset work as well as his books, writing, and thoughts on poetry. So if you're a fan or want a deep introduction to his work, it's a must.
