Description
Signed manuscripts by André Breton from Les Champs magnétiques. An anthology of texts from 1919-1921 - from Les Champs magnétiques (recopied texts, proofs for the journal Littérature) to a text on Jacques Vaché, which will be included in Les Pas perdus [The Lost Steps] - this collection takes great strides, spanning an output placed under the sign of metamorphosis. Dada had not yet arrived, Vaché was already dead, and the first surrealist texts were already being written. A page borrowed from Gilbert de Voisins - Segalen's friend - has strayed into the file, an innocently Japanese sign of the times, just as another modernity is being invented, that of this Dadaist article entitled ‘Haute couture’. [Atelier André Breton website, 2005] Four signed autograph poems [Les Champs magnétiques, 1920]. ‘Détour par le ciel’ [Detour Through the Sky], ‘Les jeunes pousses’ [The Young Shoots], ‘Terre de couleur’ [Land of Colour], ‘Tout ce qu'il y a de mystérieux’ [All Things Mysterious]: four signed autograph poems [Les Champs magnétiques, 1920]. 4 pages in-16 and in-18 on blue paper in blue ink; each poem titled and signed by Breton with the words: "Les Champs magnétiques".
