Chevalier de Méré (1607-1684), whose real name was Antoine Gombaud, was a French writer and thinker. De Méré was known for his contributions to literature, particularly in the of moral philosophy and social commentary. He is perhaps best remembered for his participation in the intellectual circles of his time, where he engaged in discussions and correspondences of which this work is a fine testimony.

Gilbert & George : intimate conversations with Francois Jonquet
New York, Phaidon Press, 2005 Black cloth with dustjacket, 24,5 x 20 cm, 360 pages, EN. *As new. ISBN 9780714844350.
Despite their notoriety, Gilbert & George have always been reluctant to speak publicly, and have only occasionally published manifestos or given interviews. However, over the last ten years they have developed a close friendship with the Paris-based author and critic, Fran ois Jonquet, and have held with him a long series of interviews in which they have been willing to talk more candidly than ever before about their lives, their work, their feelings and motives, and their reaction to the many controversies they have generated. Gilbert & George: Intimate Conversations is a distillation of all these conversations, and it presents a portrait of the artists which has never before been revealed to the public.These conversations comprise a riveting and monumental document: it offers a unique and unprecedented insight into the personalities and creative processes of two artists who have earned both enormous popularity and venomous critical hostility. In 13 chapters within a loosely thematic and chronological framework, Gilbert & George talk candidly and uninhibitedly. Sometimes serious, sometimes very funny and always sharp, lively and interesting, they explain the background and motivation behind their works, nearly 200 of which are illustrated with high-quality reproductions at the point in the text where they are discussed. The autobiographical sections are enriched with numerous documentary photographs from the artists' own collection, including many family photographs which have never been published before.Fascinating, compelling and always enjoyable to read, these conversations are also a major personal and critical testament from two significant and influential contemporary artists who are deeply serious about their work. It is absolutely essential reading for teachers and students alike, as well as anyone with an interest in contemporary art and the debates that rage around it.
