History
The Verlaine media library presents a major exhibition about Jean Vodaine, inviting visitors to embark on a journey through the richness of his work via a step-by-step exploration of his creative universe. This exhibition pays tribute to the poet, engraver, and typographer Jean Vodaine.
Jean Vodaine (1921-2006), born Friedrich Vladimir Kaucic in Slovenia, was a poet, publisher, and artist living in Lorraine. Originally a manual worker, he later focused on artisanal printing and painting. He created several influential magazines, including "Poésie avec nous", "Le Courrier de la poésie", and "Dire". He published works by Arrabal, Henry Miller, Léopold Sedar Senghor, Ernest Hemingway, Allen Ginsberg, and engravings by Gaston Chaissac and Jean Dubuffet. He said about his art: "I don't make art, I make things. I make things to better serve poetry."
