HUIDOBRO, Vincente (1893-1948) et Juan GRIS (1887-1927)
Horizon carré. Paris : Paul Birault, 1917.
Très rare exemplaire de tête sur Japon de l'édition originale, donné par l'auteur à sa fille. Nous n'avons trouvé aucun autre exemplaire sur Japon passé aux enchères dans les bases de données accessibles en ligne, et un seul exemplaire sur Hollande (second papier).

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 (288 x 220 mm). Un des 9 exemplaires de tête sur Japon, celui-ci le n° 5. Manque le dessin original de Juan Gris annoncé à la justification pour les exemplaires sur Japon et sur Hollande. Illustré d'une composition en noir et blanc de Juan Gris en frontispice, signée à l'encre par l'artiste. Broché, sous couverture imprimée (couverture légèrement salie, infimes déchirures marginales et au niveau des coiffes).
Provenance : Maria Luisa Garcia-Huidobro Portales (1918-19? ; note manuscrite à l'encre en début d'ouvrage "M. Luisa G. Huidobro Portales") 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 9 deluxe copies on Japan paper, from the library of the poet's daughter. No other copy on Japan paper appears to have been offered at auction, and we found only one copy on Holland paper. Without the original drawing by Juan Gris announced for the copies on Japan and Holland paper.
