History
The Verlaine Media Library presents a major exhibition dedicated to Jean Vodaine, inviting visitors to discover the rich beauty of his prolific work through a multi-step journey into his creation.
This exhibition is organized as a tribute to the poet, engraver, and typographer Jean Vodaine (1921-2006), born Friedrich Vladimir Kaucic in Slovenia, a poet, publisher, and artist living in Lorraine. Originally a manual worker, he later devoted himself to artisanal printing and painting. He created several magazines, including "Poésie avec nous", "Le Courrier de la poésie" with Edmond Dune, "La Tour aux puces", and "Dire", an internationally renowned journal. He published works by Arrabal, Henry Miller, Léopold Sedar Senghor, Ernest Hemingway, Allen Ginsberg, and engravings by Gaston Chaissac and Jean Dubuffet.
Passionate about his craft, he said of his work: "I'm not making art, I do things. I do things to better serve poetry."
