EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the artistic exchange between two legendary figures, Paul Eluard and Rene Magritte. The image showcases an inset page from Le Meilleur choix de poemes est celui que l'on fait pour soi, dated 21 November 1947. In elegant pen and ink, Eluard's autograph graces the page, dedicated to his surrealist counterpart Magritte. The inscription reads: "To Rene Magritte, who defends words with images". These profound words encapsulate the essence of both artists' creative philosophies. Eluard acknowledges Magritte's unique ability to convey meaning through visual representations rather than traditional written language. Measuring approximately 19.3x14.3 cm, this intimate piece of art history is now part of a private collection. It serves as a testament to the deep connection shared by these two influential poets and their dedication to pushing boundaries within their respective mediums. The photograph itself was expertly captured by Christie's Images and is made available for appreciation through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. This remarkable composition not only celebrates the power of words and images but also invites viewers into a world where poetry meets surrealism in perfect harmony.
