History
The Verlaine media library presents a major exhibition on Jean Vodaine, inviting visitors to discover the richness of his work through a step-by-step journey into his creative universe.
This exhibition is presented as a tribute to poet, engraver, and typographer Jean Vodaine.
Jean Vodaine (1921-2006), born Friedrich Vladimir Kaucic in Slovenia, was a poet, publisher, and artist who lived in Lorraine. He initially worked in various manual trades before dedicating himself to artisanal printing and painting. From the late 1940s, he launched several magazines, including "Poésie avec nous", "Le Courrier de la poésie" with Edmond Dune, and "Dire", which gained international recognition. He published works by Arrabal, Henry Miller, Léopold Sédar Senghor, Ernest Hemingway, Allen Ginsberg, and prints by his friends Gaston Chaissac and Jean Dubuffet.
A passionate creator, he said: "I don't make art, I make things. I make things to better serve poetry."
