History
The Verlaine media library presents a major exhibition dedicated to Jean Vodaine, inviting visitors to explore the breadth of his work through a multi-stage journey into the heart of Vodaine's creative world.
This exhibition is part of a tribute to the poet, engraver, and typographer Jean Vodaine.
In partnership with the Forum-IRTS de Lorraine, the Puzzle, the City of Thionville, the National Literature Center – 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. Trained as a laborer, he later worked in artisanal printing and painting. From the 1940s, he launched several literary magazines, including Poésie avec nous, Le Courrier de la poésie with Edmond Dune, La Tour aux puces, and Dire, an international review published for twenty-two years, featuring renowned authors and engravers. He stated, "I do not make art, I make things. I make things to better serve poetry."
