History
The Verlaine media library presents a major exhibition dedicated to Jean Vodaine, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the richness of a prolific body of work through a multi-stage journey into vodainian creation.
The exhibition pays tribute to the poet, engraver, and typographer Jean Vodaine. Born Friedrich Vladimir Kaucic in Slovenia in 1921, Jean Vodaine was a poet, publisher, and artist living in Lorraine. After training as a manual worker, he devoted himself to artisanal printing and painting. In the late 1940s, he created his first magazine, Poésie avec nous, then Le Courrier de la poésie in 1951 with Edmond Dune, La Tour aux puces, and Dire in 1962, an internationally renowned magazine he published on his own for twenty-two years. He notably published Arrabal, Henry Miller, Léopold Sedar Senghor, Ernest Hemingway, Allen Ginsberg, as well as engravings by Gaston Chaissac and Jean Dubuffet. Passionate, he claimed: "I do not make art, I make things. I make things to better serve poetry."
