Lettre d'André Breton à sa fille Aube du 10 septembre 1953, de
Paris
.
Transcription
Paris, le 10 septembre 1953.
Petite Aube
chérie,
C’est vrai que j’ai tardé à t’écrire mais le retour à
Paris
, tu sais…
Le mieux serait que tu reviennes le plus tôt possible, c’est-à-dire qu’au reçu de ma lettre tu ailles retenir ta place et que tu m’écrives aussitôt quand on peut t’attendre. Si nous devons nous rendre à
Lorient
par le train, Elisa
restera à
Paris
(par mesure d’économie). François Guerpillon avait envisagé de nous conduire en voiture mais Lyka est malade et je doute que ce soit possible (en ce cas Elisa
viendrait). Il avait été question aussi qu’Hervé Magny et sa femme nous emmènent, mais je ne sais quand ils doivent partir et n’ai pas même leur adresse. Ce qui est certain, c’est que j’estime indispensable que tu sois du voyage : il est, je crois, grand temps que tu revoies ton grand-père
.
Naturellement nous sommes restés à St-Cirq jusqu’à complet épuisement des « fonds » et c’est même trop peu dire puisque j’ai dû emprunter à Péret
et à Paalen
. Comme, de plus, le chemin de fer est hors de prix, je continue à espérer qu’une autre solution s’offrira.
Toujours est-il que la réadaptation à
Paris
— à ses exigences matérielles — n’est pas facile, facile…
Je n’ai fait qu’entrevoir Rosy de sa fenêtre ! elle est toujours très gracieuse et obligeante ; peut-être n’aime-t-elle pas répondre aux lettres.
Rien, ici, de bien nouveau à t’apprendre. Revu, au café, un certain nombre d’amis dont Toyen
, Goldfayn
, Legrand
, Schuster
, Benayoun
, Bédouin
. Péret
ne rentre que dans une semaine ou deux. Mon nouveau livre La Clé des champs
vient de paraître. Elisa
et moi nous proposons d’aller voir cet après-midi l’exposition des insectes au Muséum. Je ne me rappelle pas si nous en avions parlé.
St-Cirq a été très beau jusqu’au bout. Dommage seulement que tu n’y sois jamais.
Transmets, je te prie, nos pensées à Jacqueline
et à Huguette
. À bientôt, n’est-ce pas, mon Aube
.
Je t’embrasse comme MA petite.
André

Description
Typescript dating from 1948 with several handwritten corrections by André Breton destined for Jean Dubuffet.
L'Art des fous, la clé des champs (‘The art of the insane, the key to the fields’): with a title that follows his preference for adapting readymade expressions (Les Pas perdus, Clair de terre...), in this important text of 1948 Breton offers a history of outsider art (art brut), or rather of its discovery – since outsider art clearly has no history, even if only thanks to the obscurity of its protagonists. Breton takes this opportunity to challenge art critics and their tendency to limit their interest to established artists. The Compagnie de l'art brut, for whose Almanach this text was intended but never published, had the aim not only of concerning itself with ‘other’ artists, but also of making an inroad into an artworld that was insufficiently creative. Breton’s manifesto-style text, which complements the prospectus drawn up by Dubuffet and was presented as an annex to the Compagnie’s statutes, would be published in issue 6 of the Cahiers de la Pléiade edited by Jean Paulhan, before being republished in Surrealism and Painting. [Atelier André Breton website, 2005]
Typescript, with handwritten typographical annotations, undated [1948].
Stored in the cardboard folder labelled ‘L'Art brut’ in a dossier compiled by André Breton, altogether comprising 8 letters (11 in-12 pages and 1 in-4° page with envelopes).
‘L'art des fous, la clé des champs’, Typescript with several handwritten corrections by André Breton destined for Jean Dubuffet (4 pages in-4°). [Auction catalogue, 2003]
