Digraphe is a French literary magazine founded in 1974 by Jean Ristat.

This issue includes, amongst other essays and texts, a focus on sculptor César, including an interview with César by Fauchereau and Ristat, a text by Baldwin and a text by Raillard. 

César (César Baldaccini, 1921-1998) was born to Italian parents in the Belle de Mai quarter of Marseille, France. At the time, this area of the Mediterranean port city was chaotic and economically depressed, teeming with waves of immigrant populations and the detritus of their lives. The cross section of excess and deprivation that Marseille represented would serve as a significant source of César’s artistic endeavors.
