La Lucarne ovale

Rate this book
En 1910 Reverdy quitte Narbonne pour Paris. Il trouve une maison à Montmartre, près du Bateau-Lavoir, un complexe d'ateliers qui abritait des peintres et des écrivains, dont Constantin Brancusi, Kees van Dongen, Juan Gris, Max Jacob, Pierre Mac Orlan, Amedeo Modigliani et Pablo Picasso. Le Bateau-Lavoir est le foyer d'un nouvel art - le cubisme - où vous retrouverez également Georges Braque, Guillaume Apollinaire et Gertrude Stein. Reverdy y fait également une apparition, se lie d'amitié avec les habitants – en particulier Gris et Jacob – et découvre une veine de poésie en lui.

La Lucarne ovale de 1916 est son deuxième recueil de poèmes.

About the author

Pierre Reverdy

94 books49 followers
Pierre Reverdy (September 13, 1889 – June 17, 1960) was a French poet whose works were inspired by and subsequently proceeded to influence the provocative art movements of the day, Surrealism, Dadaism and Cubism. The loneliness and spiritual apprehension that ran through his poetry appealed to the Surrealist credo. He, though, remained independent of the prevailing “isms,” searching for something beyond their definitions. His writing matured into a mystical mission seeking, as he wrote: “the sublime simplicity of reality."

Heerlijke, eenvoudige en directe poëzie. Puike vertaling van Mysjkin. Tweetalige editie. Ideaal leesvoer voor deze poëziedag. Was het maar iedere dag...
