In a room in Carcassonne with closed windows and walls covered with surrealist paintings by Max Ernst, Dali, Magritte, Masson, Dubuffet, Fautrier, and Klee, the poet Joë Bousquet had been lying down since suffering a terrible war injury on May 27, 1918. He remained there for nearly thirty years, until his death on September 28, 1950. His impressive collection, constantly enriched, enchanted his dreams and his days devoted to writing and love. To evoke this collection, now dispersed, but whose photos of major works are brought together in this book, is to write the story of their discoveries through the friendship and complicity of the painters. Some came to see him, such as Dali, preceded by his wife Gala, then wife of Eluard, Malkine, Max Ernst, the closest friend of whom Bousquet had twenty-eight magnificent paintings, Yves Tanguy the other great favorite, Magritte who came from Belgium, Bellmer from Germany with his moving "Poupée", Miro, Arp, Chirico, but also Fautrier, Michaux. Dubuffet who visited the poet in 1945 executed three portraits of him and introduced him to art brut. Thanks to Jean Paulhan, his friend, advisor and publisher, with whom he exchanged nearly five thousand letters, Bousquet discovered Victor Brauner and Wols shortly before his death.
