André BEAUDIN - Original Print - Etching - Untitled (A poem in each book Paul Eluard)

Artist : André BEAUDIN (1895-1979)

Title : Untitled, 1955

Medium : Etching on BFK Rives paper

Type of work :  Original etching signed by hand by the artist in pencil and dated 1955 lower right, numbered 10/10. This work is an additional edition in large margins of the illustration 5 of the book tribute to Eluard "a poem in every book" published in 1956 at 120 copies. In the book the illustration 5 is positioned next to the poem of Paul Eluard "La parole" from the collection "Répétitions" (1922). The work proposed here comes from the album called "Album A", separate from the book at 20 copies. Each album contains like the book 16 prints (including this work by André Beaudin) but they were printed in large margins and unlike the prints in the book, all signed or monogrammed by the artists. The album that we have was the property of the publisher Louis BRODER. It is different from the others because it is enriched in addition to the 16 illustrations with large margins of many other prints collected by the publisher throughout his collaboration with the artists on this book.

Dimensions : 50 x 32,5 cm (Image 11,5 x 13 cm)

Condition : Good, a small almost invisible hole of barely 0.1 mm probably related to the printing matrix of the print but which will be totally invisible to the frame as well as a small printing stain of 0.2 mm. See photo 6.

Provenance : Genevieve and Jean Paul Kahn Collection

 

Expert's comment André Beaudin's participation in the book tribute to Paul Eluard was obvious because the poet really appreciated this cubist artist friend of Pablo Picasso and Juan Gris. The artist develops his own style by working the form from straight lines and curves. Light playing a preponderant role in his work, he illustrates the poem "the word" with a print in soft and acid colors. Paul Eluard will also create the prefaces for two of his exhibition catalogues.

Some verses of the poem "The word":
I have easy beauty and that's happy.
I slide on the roofs of the winds
I slide on the roof of the seas
I got sentimental
I don't know the driver anymore
I no longer move silk on the mirrors
I'm sick flowers and pebbles
I like the most chinese to the skies
I like the most naked to bird spreads
I am old but here I am beautiful
