Through a selection of around thirty poems by Paul Eluard, illustrated with drawings by Picasso, this box set pays tribute to these two immense artists of the 20th century, to their commitment to peace, universal and more necessary than ever. "When the long film of Picasso's work unfolds in my memory, I am always struck with admiration by the enthusiasm, the work, the incessant movement of a man whose message will remain, I am convinced, "the best testimony that we can give of our dignity." Picasso's enthusiasm never slows down. It is his strength and his secret. Each step forward reveals a new horizon to him. The past does not hold him back; the world opens up to him, a world where everything is still to be done and not to be redone... "This is how Picasso is linked to the eternal history of mankind. These are the magnificent and poignant words of Paul Eluard to express his friendship to Pablo Picasso. A friendship that began in 1935, when they first met, and that would last sixteen years, until Éluard's death in 1952. A lifelong, creative friendship that would engender true emulation, a fraternity, a commitment. Between these two men, everything converges: a shared taste for poetry, art, a shared vision of artistic creation, a shared lifestyle. As early as the 1920s, Paul Éluard was already collecting works by Picasso, but it was in the mid-1930s that their friendship was affirmed. They found themselves in the collective actions of the surrealist movement, shared a shared passion for modern art and poetry, and committed themselves against fascism and for the freedom of peoples, for peace. This commitment would nourish Eluard's poetry and Picasso's art, in a rich and uninterrupted dialogue: one wrote the most beautiful poems for peace, inseparable from his love poems, the other drew doves in multiple variations. For in the Bible, this bird announced to Noah the end of the Flood by bringing him an olive branch. A sublime emblem of peace, the dove represents the end of chaos. This commitment to peace and freedom would find its ultimate expression in 1951, with the publication of the collection The Face of Peace. Through a selection of some thirty poems by Paul Eluard, illustrated with drawings by Picasso, this box set pays tribute to these two immense artists of the 20th century, to their commitment to peace, universal and more necessary than ever. "I know all the places where the dove lodges And the most natural is the head of man. "Man in the grip of peace is crowned with hope. “The architecture of peace rests on the whole world.
