History
The Verlaine Media Library presents an exhibition dedicated to Jean Vodaine, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the artist's prolific body of work. This exhibition is part of a tribute to the 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. Initially a manual worker, he later turned to artisanal printing and painting. In the 1940s, he created the magazine Poésie avec nous, then Le Courrier de la poésie and Dire, where he published major authors such as Arrabal, Henry Miller, Léopold Sedar Senghor, Ernest Hemingway, Allen Ginsberg, along with engravings by Gaston Chaissac and Jean Dubuffet. Passionate about his work, he said: "I do not make art, I make things. I make things to better serve poetry."
