PIEYRE DE MANDIARGUES André (1909-1991).
MANUSCRIT autograph signed "A.P.M.", [Chagall], Paris May 11, 1973| 50 leaves in-4 written on recto (a few rare tears without missing).
Complete manuscript of his book on Marc CHAGALL, published by Maeght in 1975.
Citing early criticism from Léger and Delaunay that Chagall "was a 'literary' painter", Mandiargues gives a long biography of Chagall, with many insights into his style. "His brush becomes a kind of wand [...], capable of enchanting and bewitching urban landscapes". He proclaims him the "painter-poet par excellence", and describes his painting as "fireworks of poetic language, fireworks of poetic painting". In passing, he evokes Verlaine, Rimbaud, Cendrars, Germain Nouveau, the Surrealists and, above all, Éluard, who knew so well how to sense Chagall's art and "who transported it into poetry better than anyone else, Cendrars excepted. [...] Will some be astonished [...] if I say that the eroticism of Chagall's painting seems to me as dazzling as that of Eluard's poetry [...After describing numerous paintings, Mandiargues concludes: "Chagall's art, through the springtime of universal love, is identified with life". Attached is the typescript (58 pages in-4), dated May 11, 1973, with a few tiny corrections and additions.
