EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare and intimate glimpse into the artistic world of Gala Grindel-Eluard, wife of renowned poet Paul Eluard. Titled "Le Devoir et l'Inquietude - Poemes" this piece is a testament to Gala's talent as both a poetess and an artist. Created in 1917, the artwork features handwritten poems by Gala herself, meticulously penned with ink on paper. The addition of collage elements adds depth and texture to the composition, making it visually intriguing. Measuring at 16x12 cm each leaf, these delicate pages hold within them a profound sense of emotion and literary brilliance. The handwriting reflects Gala's unique style and personality, giving us insight into her creative process. The image captures not only the beauty of the manuscript but also highlights Gala's striking face adorned in an exquisite costume. This juxtaposition between her ethereal appearance and the rawness of her handwritten words creates an intriguing contrast that draws viewers deeper into the artwork. As we delve into this visual treasure trove, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how poetry intertwines with artistry. It serves as a reminder that literature has always been deeply connected to visual expression throughout history.
