PORTRAITS OF THE-NON-EXISTENT-BIRD - DANIEL KNODERER.

Born in 1948 in Paris. A genial book­binding artist, long marginal­ized by the pro­fes­sional world of art book­binders and that of bib­lio­philes who love orig­inal bind­ings. Between 1990 and 1992, Claude Lemand offered to Daniel Knoderer the pos­si­bility to create 27 orig­inal bind­ings on books by dif­ferent artists of his col­lec­tion, including 7 copies of the book by Aveline-Zadkine, Portrait de l’Oiseau-Qui-N’Existe-Pas and Autres poèmes, Geneva, 1965. All of these bind­ings have been exhib­ited in 1993 at the Historical Library of the City of Paris, described and repro­duced in the exhi­bi­tion’s cat­alog: Knoderer, 150 bind­ings.

“ I bind only books that I have read, that I like, that interest me. It is when I under­stood the book and what it con­tained, text and illus­tra­tion, that my work could begin. Often without any a priori and almost com­pletely impro­vised, as for a modern piece of music. The tech­nical and plastic choices - colors, mate­rials – nat­u­rally imposed them­selves on me, without the feeling that I am respon­sible of the choices. It’s always the book that inspires me to take this or that direc­tion; without the book, I do nothing! ”
(Daniel Knoderer, Arts et Métiers du Livre, october 2005)
