HUIDOBRO, Vicente (1893-1948) et Juan GRIS (1887-1927)
Horizon carré. Paris : Paul Birault, 1917.

Très rare exemplaire sur Hollande de l’édition originale, donné par l’auteur à sa fille cadette.

Poète chilien né en 1893, Vincente Huidobro est le fondateur du mouvement "créationniste" (Creacionismo), qui se revendique comme un équivalent littéraire du cubisme et dont Horizon carré constitue le manifeste. Il s'agit du premier livre en français publié par l'auteur, avec la participation de Juan Gris, qui avait déjà aidé son ami à traduire des poèmes de l'espagnol vers le français. Proche des avant-gardes européennes, Huidobro vécut à Paris et Madrid et se lia d'amitié avec Apollinaire, Max Jacob, Cendrars, Reverdy, Cocteau ou encore Picasso, artistes à qui il dédie plusieurs poèmes du recueil. L'influence des Calligrammes d'Apollinaire, composés entre 1912 et 1917, est palpable chez Huidobro, qui compose lui-même des poèmes de ce type et adopte, comme son aîné, l'absence de ponctuation et une organisation plus libre du texte
José Calvo González, “Tres poéticas de la guitarra vanguardista (1917-1924)”, Bulletin hispanique, 118-1, pp. 319-342. Tony Frazer, préface à l'édition anglaise de 2019, pp. 7-11 ("Octavio Paz later referred to Huidobro as el oxígeno invisible (the invisible oxygen) of Latin American poetry, reflecting the fact that his influence was felt by poets right across the continent; in fact he was probably the major link between the European avant-garde and progressive literary circles in Latin America.")

In-4 (286 x 224 mm). L’un des 10 exemplaires sur Hollande (second papier), celui-ci le n° 7. Manque le dessin original de Juan Gris annoncé à la justification pour les exemplaires sur Japon et Hollande. Illustré d’une composition de Juan Gris en frontispice, signée à l’encre par l’artiste. Broché. Sous couverture de papier japon imprimée en noir (couverture légèrement salie, gardes brunies, coiffes abimées, quelques déchirures marginales et au coin inférieur du titre).
Provenance : Carmen García-Huidobro de Salcede (1922 - ?, note manuscrite en page de titre) ; et par descendance au propriétaire actuel.

Very rare first edition of this avant-garde manifesto for Creationism, a movement initiated by Vincente Huidobro himself and meant to be the poetic equivalent of cubism. One of the 10 copies on Holland paper, from the library of the poet's daughter. Only one other copy on Holland paper appears to have been offered at auction. Without the original drawing by Juan Gris announced for the copies on Japan and Holland paper.
