In the aftermath of the war he founded and directed Éditions du Point du Jour—named after a work by André Breton. A close associate of Jacques Prévert he published <em>Paroles</em> in 1946 the collection that brought the poet to widespread public attention. His publishing house also featured works by Michaux Breton Ernst Soupault and Queneau.</p><p>Born from an artistic collaboration between Man Ray Paul Éluard and his wife Nusch the book exalts her body through the poet's words and the photographer's light. Following his collection <em>Au défaut du silence</em> where Gala was ever-present Éluard composed these four poems evoking Nusch which are echoed by a subtle interplay of layout and twelve photographs by Man Ray depicting Nusch entirely nude. Her body never appears in full a technique characteristic of the "Man of Light." The work contributed significantly to the revival of eroticism in 1930s art.</p><p>The elegance and originality of <em>Facile</em>'s layout combined with the aesthetic quality of Man Ray's photographs—characterized by raking light shadow play and superimpositions—contribute to the perfection of this legendary work:<br /><em>"Identical to herself in her inexhaustible creation of self woman is also like the sign—or better yet: the condition—of the identity of all things. One would almost have to quote entire poems from Facile to convey the true sense of the 'harmony' established between feminine eroticism and the fertile energies of the earth—between the gestures of woman and the movements of human destiny…"</em><br />Pierre Emmanuel <em>Le Je universel chez Paul Éluard</em></p><p><u>Bibliography:<br /></u><em>Œuvres complètes</em> t.

Paris: GLM 1936. Fine. Offered to the friend beyond words companion of all wars and of loves as well GLM Paris 1936 12.50 x 17 cm broché First edition one of 100 numbered copies on vellum ours unnumbered the only deluxe papers after 15 copies on Japon. Illustrated with a frontispiece drawing by Salvador Dalí. Precious signed autograph presentation from Paul Eluard to René Char : « Exemplaire de mon ami René Char. Paul Eluard. » It was in 1929 that René Char first discovered the verse of Paul Eluard. Captivated the young twenty-two-year-old poet from L'Isle decided to send him a copy of his collection Arsenal inscribing it with the following dedication: « à Paul éluard enfin. L'Isle 17 septembre 1929. » His elder responded kindly a few weeks later: « Cher Monsieur n'est-il pas possible que nous nous connaissions mieux Ne pensez-vous pas venir à Paris Je serais heureux de vous dire combien j'aime vos poèmes tout ce si beau livre. » The young Char elated set off for the first time to meet his « substitute brother » Laurent Greilsamer René Char Perrin 2012 and soon decided to move to Paris to join his new companions Aragon Breton and Eluard placing himself under the Surrealist banner. Eluard abandoned by Gala who left him for Dalí offered Char to live in his apartment on rue Becquerel. The two bachelors soon engaged Odette a young maid who was more than agreeable: « Char enjoyed this refined service but was nevertheless surprised by the marked kindness of this pretty brunette. One day he took her in his arms. The young beauty smiled yielded and proved herself expert. That evening René recounted his adventure to Eluard who the next morning had his breakfast served in bed and invited Odette to join him. A temporary trio was thus formed. » op. cit. Char and Eluard now inseparable shared a taste for revelry and frenetic seduction roaming the Parisian boulevards in search of adventure. Thus on the evening of 21 May 1930 they met a destitute actress and trapeze artist: Nusch. « Eluard decided to take her back like a precious parcel to rue Becquerel. But it would take all the friendship of Char and his powers of persuasion to convince the young woman to stay giving Eluard the timeall the timeto fall in love. » op. cit. Char thus played the role of mediator enabling Eluard to win the great love of his life who died prematurely in 1946 of a cerebral haemorrhage. Despite several passing quarrelsnever over women but always over ideasthe two poets maintained a strong bond of friendship and intellect until the end of Eluard's life. « Je suis vieux René par instants à force de ne plus aimer la vie. Je vis par devoir. Mais je t'aime profondément comme je t'ai toujours aimé : ne te choque de rien ; venant de moi tout est pour moi affection et admiration. . Quelle preuve de plus peux-tu en avoir que je te dise que tu es le seul homme à qui je pourrais avouer ce grand vide que je porte en moi et devant qui je pourrais pleurer autant que j'en ai toujours envie. » GLM hardcover

Complete copy of this iconic Dada journal with its subscription leaflet Proverbe Paris 1er février 1920 - 1er juillet 1921 14 x 22.5 cm & 208 x 275 5 fascicules sur feuillets double et 1 feuillet recto-versos An exceptionally rare complete collection in six issues of this important Dada journal including the very rare sixth no. of July 1921 entitled ""Invention et proverbe"". Contributions by Paul Eluard André Breton Céline Arnauld Tristan Tzara Philippe Soupault Louis Aragon Jean Cocteau Francis Picabia Jean Paulhan Maurice Raynal Georges Ribemont-Dessaignes Jacques-Emile Blanche Théodore Fraenkel among others. One of the most significant Dada journals published at the height of the movement with its very rare subscription leaflet. Undoubtedly the finest example of poetic parody conceived by the Dadaists as a radical response to the conventionalized atrophy of lan-guage and morality. ""These journals DdO4H2 ; M'amenez-y ; Proverbe and Z represent the specific product of the 1920 Dadaist frenzy.
The most interesting of them standing clearly apart from the rest was unquestionably Proverbe which claimed to 'exist only to justify words'"" Michel Sanouillet Dada à Paris ""Thus through the alchemy of Eluard's editorial choices Proverbe became a genuinely Dada journal: consistently innovative exploring the diverse possibilities of language 'justifying' words that is calling them into question inventing its own idiom and more distinctively still indicting conventional syntax through aphorisms. These aphorisms according to Michel Leiris's phrase rhyme falsely: commonplaces caught in everyday speech i.e. 'it means what it means' no. 2; nonsense phrases; sayings taken from Dadaist writings such as Tzara's 'My name is now you' no. 3; sentences of zero denotation such as 'With DADA every day rendez-vous anywhere' no. 4. In Dépaysement de l'aphorisme Marie-Paule Berranger compiled an exhaustive inventory of all the verbal operations proposed by the contributors to Proverbe ranging from the inversion of stereotypes to the portmanteau proverb the commonplace taken at face value the deflating riddle and the redefinition of grammatical rules: all ultimately underscoring the paradox of language. But to focus solely on this aspect is to overlook much else that the publication contains beyond sententious wordplay. Eluard while testing the effect of his own poems clearly took great pleasure in composing these explosive pages and wrote in another journal: 'Proverbe resembles the piers of a demolished bridge' Henri Béhar Dada Circuit total p. 302. A rare complete copy of this ephemeral and incandescent publication: ""of all the Dada journals the one that made the most coherent contribution to the problem of language"" Tristan Tzara. Dada exhibition Centre Pompidou 2005-2006 pp. 830-833. Proverbe unknown

Paul ELUARD
Superb first draft manuscript on his vision of poetry: influence on men influence on the world influence on the construction of the relationship of men to their world
<p><strong>ELUARD Paul 1895-1952</strong></p><p>" La Certitude d'avoir raison " autograph manuscript signed " Paul Eluard " N.p.n.d 1 p. in-4 Fold marks paper slightly crumpled some notes on verso from another hand</p><p><strong>Superb first draft manuscript on his vision of poetry: influence on men influence on the world influence on the construction of the relationship of men to their world</strong></p><p><em>" <strong>Il y a une tradition poétique et c'est la tradition de la découverte de l'invention la recherche d'un beau et d'un bien toujours nouveau</strong>. Le développement de l'imagination est lié à la transformation sociale : ils se commandent réciproquement. L'imagination change de monde. <strong>Il n'y a pas d'explorateurs ou d'inventeurs sans imagination. Cette reine du monde est la mère du progrès</strong>. Et tout en donnant raison à</em> Vladimir <em>Maïakovsky qui supposait l'existence dans la société de problèmes dont la solution n'est imaginable que par l'œuvre poétique " l'on peut espérer que l'œuvre poétique trouvera la solution par la résolution des problèmes sociaux. <strong>La poésie est le reflet du monde. Ce que je dis c'est ce que je vois et je dois forcément trouver un écho dans le cœur de mes semblables</strong>. Il n'y a sur terre qu'une vérité celle de l'homme au service de tous les hommes celle de tous les hommes au service de l'homme. <strong>La poésie ne sera bientôt plus un refuge</strong>. Elle devient la solution logique car elle est la vie une vie qui nourrit l'imagination une imagination qui transforme la vie. Comme l'amour elle doit être réciproque. Mais elle saut que cette réciprocité est entièrement fonction de l'égalité du bonheur matériel entre les hommes. Et l'égalité dans le bonheur porterait celui-ci à une hauteur dont nous ne pouvons encore avoir que de faibles notions. Paul Eluard "</em></p><p>This reflection on what poetry is according to Eluard is worth a little overview of the different ways he had to consider this mode of expression: Already before the war Eluard sees poetry as well as the fruit of an aesthetic literary and political commitment. With Aragon and Breton he closely followed the rising ideological conflicts but refused to let art submit to these problems. It is also the collection <em>Capital de la douleur</em> 1926 that remained the best known of the poet at that time. However during the Second World War politics and poetics ended up becoming one under his pen and his poetry became a weapon in its own right; one naturally thinks of the famous hymn to "Liberté" under the Occupation.</p><p>On November 28 1946 shortly after the probable date of our manuscript Nusch Eluard the poet's wife died. The latter then renewed his vision of poetry passing it "from the horizon of one man to the horizon of all". This desire for universality is superbly expressed here: "What I say is what I see and I must necessarily find an echo in the hearts of my fellow men." Moreover the approach to poetry as the common of all stems from a philological reflection on the relationship of men to language whose conclusion is that "The poet … will give us back the delights of the purest language as well that of the man of the street as of the wise as that of the woman the child or the madman. Les Sentiers et les routes de la poésie 1952.</p><p>Part of this manuscript the second and third sentences can be found in the section <em>Poèmes retrouvés</em> volume II of the Pléiade p. 873 under the title <em>Aujourd'hui la Poésie</em>: it is a fragment of a lecture given by Eluard on April 9 1946 at the French Institute in Prague.</p><p>Another part the last sentence is found in <em>Avenir de la Poésie</em> Œuvres complètes tome I de la Pléiade p. 526. We know that Eluard made many conferences and declarations in Prague during the spring of 1946 then Italy and Greece. One can legitimately think that this manuscript dates from this time.</p><p>Lucien Scheler does not mention this text either in the alphabetical index of the periodicals that published Eluard or in the chronological index. Still chances are he knew the text at least by a typed copy. The signature and the pencil endorsement seem to indicate a publication.</p>
