EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Arthur Rimbaud, one of France's most renowned poets. Created in June 1872 by his fellow poet Paul Verlaine, this pen and ink drawing on paper showcases Rimbaud's youthful essence and bohemian lifestyle. In this portrait, Rimbaud is depicted with long flowing hair, exuding an air of nonconformity that was characteristic of his persona. The artist skillfully portrays the intensity in Rimbaud's gaze as he delicately holds a pipe between his lips, releasing a wisp of smoke into the air. This subtle detail adds to the mystique surrounding the young poet. Verlaine's drawing not only captures Rimbaud's physical appearance but also provides insight into his creative mind. The presence of handwritten text and manuscripts scattered around him suggests a deep connection to literature and writing. It is as if we are given a glimpse into Rimbaud's thoughts and ideas through this intimate portrayal. As an iconic representation drawn from memory (de memoire), this artwork conveys both admiration for Rimbaud as well as Verlaine's personal interpretation of their friendship. With its timeless quality, it serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by these two influential figures in French literary history.
