century. It includes the collaborative works of André Gide/Maurice
Denis; Guillaume Apollinaire/André Derain; Max
Jacob/Pablo Picasso;Blaise
Cendrars/Sonia Delaunay; Tristan Tzara/Hans Arp;
André Malraux/Fernand
Léger and Michel Leiris/Alberto Giacometti and continues
on to show how the movement evolved in the second half
of the twentieth century in the works of Henri Michaux,
Francis Ponge, Yves Bonnefoy, Robert Desnos, André du
Bouchet and Jacques Dupin.

The
collaboration – or ‘dialogue’ – between
poet and visual artist is an essentially French
phenomenon, which flourished from the end of the
19th century, and continues in publishing
traditions today. The dialogue not only emphasised
the physical and conceptual links between words
and image, but produced some of the most memorable
imagery of the 20th century.
Some
poets felt they were naturally involved in a
dialogue with the visual arts, and artists came to
use the space of the page in a poetic and not
simply illustrative manner.Throughout the period under review in
this study, the artist’s book becomes a medium
as distinct as painting, printmaking and
sculpture.
