Description

Autograph manuscript by André Breton, probably dating from 1926.

Autograph manuscript, undated [1926].

- ‘Lucien ôta sa casquette...’ (Lucien took off his cap…), autograph manuscript (1926) in ink by André Breton with erasures and corrections (4 pages in-12.) This automatic writing text features several characters, including Lucien, Marguerite, and the Redskin.

"Matches were scattered on the ground. The cashier was dressed normally. The tables were stuck to the wall, with black men all around. [...] He looked for an address in the phone book and muttered, "I prefer God to my wife. I'm going to divorce her." [...] Lucien drank a bitter winter while quoting an earthworm from the famous poet X. [...] The soft profiles of the furs give little consolation. There is no Canada that holds.” [Auction Catalogue, 2003]
