The Verlaine media library presents a major exhibition focusing on Jean Vodaine, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in his prolific work through a step-by-step journey into his creative world. 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, editor, and artist living in Lorraine. After working in various manual trades, he turned to artisanal printing and painting. He founded several magazines including "Poésie avec nous", "Le Courrier de la poésie", "La Tour aux puces", and in 1962, "Dire". He published major writers such as Arrabal, Henry Miller, Leopold Sedar Senghor, Ernest Hemingway, Allen Ginsberg, as well as engravings by Gaston Chaissac and Jean Dubuffet. Passionate about his work, he said: "I don't make art, I make things. I make things to better serve poetry."
