{"product_id":"poetic-illumination-9789042032071","title":"Poetic Illumination","description":"In 1980 an exhibition of the \u003ci\u003eIlluminated Manuscripts\u003c\/i\u003e of René Char held in Paris took the artistic and literary worlds by surprise. It featured illustrations by twenty-eight artists of an array of Char’s hand-written poems. Char’s artistic associations, spanning seven decades, remain remarkable today. Not only was he amply illustrated by those he called his “substantial allies”; the dedicatory poems and prose pieces they inspired, written with revelatory flair, constitute a unique corpus in the history of art and poetic enterprise.\u003cbr\u003eThis book brings together an exemplary number of the artists Char prized over time: Dali and Kandinsky in the early years; later, Picasso, Braque and Miró; yet later, Vieira da Silva, Nicolas de Staël and Alexandre Galperine. It also considers the poet’s fascination with Corot, Courbet, La Tour, Van Gogh and the cave art of Lascaux.","brand":"Rosemary Lancaster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48274067161339,"sku":"9789042032071","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_902fdc5b-0213-461a-9473-bc0bc77dac4c.jpg?v=1773738743","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/poetic-illumination-9789042032071","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
