About the Item

Feu central is an original modern Artwork written by Benjamin Péret (Rezé, July 4, 1899 - Paris, September 18, 1959) and illustrated by Raymond Georges Yves Tanguy (January 5, 1900 – January 15, 1955) in 1947. Original Edition. Published by K éditeur, Paris. 1030 numbered copies. Format: in 4°. The dimensions and the weight are indicative. The book includes 101 pages with Four Full page illustrations. Mint conditions. Raymond Georges Yves Tanguy (January 5, 1900 – January 15, 1955), known as just Yves Tanguy, was a French surrealist painter. Tanguy's paintings have a unique, immediately recognizable style of nonrepresentational surrealism. They show vast, abstract landscapes, mostly in a tightly limited palette of colors, only occasionally showing flashes of contrasting color accents. Typically, these alien landscapes are populated with various abstract shapes, sometimes angular and sharp as shards of glass, sometimes with an intriguingly organic look to them, like giant amoebae suddenly turned to stone. Benjamin Péret (Rezé, July 4, 1899 - Paris, September 18, 1959); he was a French poet. Alongside Breton he was among the most important and influential protagonists of the surrealist movement. He wrote poems characterized by a vehement anti-bourgeois aggression, by the rejection of the clichés of morality, by the parody of official rhetoric: Le Passager Du Transatlantique, Je Ne Mange Pas De Ce Pain-La, Feu Central. Faithful to the libertarian and internationalist ideal, communist militant, then Trotskyist, he enlisted in the international brigades during the Spanish civil war. From 1939 to 1945 he emigrated to South America and Mexico where he composed a violent pamphlet against the "poetry of the resistance", denouncing its patriotic and traditionalist connotations (Le Deshonneur Des Poètes, 1945).
