The Verlaine Media Library presents a major exhibition dedicated to Jean Vodaine, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the richness of his prolific work through a journey at the heart of his creative universe.
This exhibition is organized as a tribute to the poet, engraver, and typographer Jean Vodaine, in partnership with Forum-IRTS Lorraine, Le Puzzle, Ville de Thionville, Centre national de littérature – Luxembourg, and the Jean Vodaine Association.
Jean Vodaine (1921-2006), born Friedrich Vladimir Kaucic in Slovenia, was a poet, publisher, and artist living in Lorraine. After various manual professions, he devoted himself to artisanal printing and painting. He founded several reviews, including "Poésie avec nous," "Le Courrier de la poésie" with Edmond Dune, "La Tour aux puces", and "Dire", publishing authors like Arrabal, Henry Miller, Léopold Sédar Senghor, Ernest Hemingway, Allen Ginsberg as well as prints by Gaston Chaissac and Jean Dubuffet. Passionate, he stated: "I do not make art, I make things. I make things to better serve poetry."
