"The author describes and illustrates a tradition of nineteenth-century painting which he writes was 'a deep current running right through the century that had its source in the strange the imaginary and the fantastic. Often governed by that queen of all the faculties the imagination this 'alternative' tradition drew its eloquence from the individual's power of expression whether in silence or in a cry in dream or in waking clarity Goya with his extravagances was a contemporary of Louis David; the visionary Blake was a contemporary of Canova and his marbles.' The recurrent themes- nature and its horizons the individual and his depths sleep and its empire the elsewhere or the beyond woman and her faces light and shade- are traced from Goya Blake and Fuseli through many less obvious figures in the world of nineteenth-century art to Whistler to Munch to Klimt." -Jacket.

With Andre Breton Soupault was one of the founders of the Surrealist movement: "Soupault's earliest verse collection 'Aquarium' 1917 was published with the help of Guillaume Apollinaire who introduced Soupault to André Breton. In 1919 Soupault Breton and Louis Aragon cofounded the review 'Littérature'. Originally drawn to the anti-rationalism of the Dada movement Soupault soon rejected its nihilism and he and Breton experimented with other revolutionary techniques. One result of their experimentation was the "automatic writing" of the jointly authored 'Les Champs magnétiques' 1920; 'The Magnetic Fields' known as the first major Surrealist work. Soupault soon abandoned automatic writing to produce carefully crafted verses such as those in 'Westwego' 1922 and 'Georgia' 1926. As the Surrealist movement became increasingly dogmatic and political Soupault grew dissatisfied with it and eventually broke with it and Breton" Encyclopedia Britannica online.

The works studied constitute the period from 1947 to 1963. It retains 943 letters from Villon to Espic and attached documents: biographical historiographic theoretical. The letters and documents are reproduced in the 2nd volume. These sources contribute to a better understanding of the production of the artist as a whole. The first part deals with the correspondence the guiding thread. Analysis description and methodological propositions are stated and lead to a reflection on the relations between the epistolary and the "writings of artists". Next comes a monographic study.
