Marc Chagall (1887-1985), artist — Louis Aragon (1897-1982)

Celui qui dit les choses sans rien dire. Paris: Maeght, 1976.

Chagall is truly ‘he who says things without saying anything’, as the title of this beautiful livre d’artiste suggests. The etchings in this volume are poetry for the eyes, capturing the surreal emotions of Aragon’s verse in bright tones and hues. Despite the quarrel that it caused between its collaborators, Celui qui dit les choses sans rien dire is a profound juncture of picture and poetry. Cramer books 99.
