- First edition. Henri Creuzevault writes in the introduction of this curious ‘dictionary’:’ Pas plus que l'exposition Table d'orientation pour une sculpture d'aujourd'hui, dont il est le catalogue, ce petit ouvrage ne prétend nullement faire le point défi­nitif sur un art dont il tente seulement une approche poétique. Et de même que notre exposition est une ouverture sur un type pos­sible de lecture de la sculp­ture    actuelle,     vue    sous l'angle de la matière dans laquelle elle est créée, le dic­tionnaire des matériaux de J.-J. Lévêque ne veut-il être que la proposition d'un dictionnaire possible. Im­provisé dans des délais très brefs, pour les besoins créés par les circonstances, mais correspondant à un vieux projet, il est plutôt un dic­tionnaire en devenir.’ Reproductions of works by Appel, Arp, Arman, Bellmer, Calder, César, Dado, Duchamp, Fautrier, G. Richier, Kowalski, Laurens, Le Parc, Raysse, Nevelson, De St. Phalle, Gette, Requichot, Soto, Tinguely, Ubac and more. etc.
