There was also an edition of 200 proofs on Velin Arches paper signed and numbered by the artist without the text. Some unsigned proofs , with letters, were made on Arches paper of which our works are examples of. Notes: This composition showed a detail from the ceiling of the Paris Opera. Andre Malraux, the French Minister of Culture, commissioned the artist to work on this vast project. He divided the vast space into several colour zones and wove together scenes and characters from the most beloved operas and ballets. The mural would honour the works of fourteen composers, from Mussorgsky to Mozart and Beethoven.
