PROVENANCE : René Char (1907-1988)



Témoignage de l’admiration des surréalistes belges pour René Char, ce manuscrit comprend trois collages originaux inédits de Jean Scutenaire, Irène Hamoir et Georgette Magritte. Proches de René Magritte, les poètes Jean Scutenaire et Irène Hamoir se lieront d’amitié avec de nombreux surréalistes de la scène française et rédigeront plusieurs préfaces pour les expositions d’artistes du mouvement. En août 1937, quelques mois après la réalisation de ce livre, René Char invite le couple à passer quelques jours avec lui à Céreste, village de Provence depuis lequel il organisera un réseau de Résistance, sous le pseudonyme d’Alexandre. Durant ce séjour, il s’éprend d’Irène Hamoir, allant jusqu’à la rejoindre à La Haye le mois suivant. Interrompue par Jean Scutenaire, leur liaison ne durera pas.
