Discover a major work for any collector or historian of modern art. This *Catalogue Raisonné I: Peintures, fers et assemblages (1942–1968)*—published in 2004 by the prestigious Éditions de la Différence—stands as the definitive reference on Júlio Pomar’s early creative period.

This exceptional copy is distinguished by an original handwritten dedication from Júlio Pomar, transforming this art book into a true collector’s item of significant heritage value (see photo).

Compiled by Alexandre Pomar and the renowned art critic Marcelin Pleynet, this first 340-page volume traces the artist’s stylistic evolution, from the socially resonant realism of 1942 to the textural experiments of the late 1960s. The book documents his masterpieces with scientific precision across major thematic series—such as *Tauromachies*, *Courses*, *Don Quixote*, *Rugby*, and *Mai 68*—as well as his iron sculptures and three-dimensional assemblages.
