History
The Verlaine Media Library presents a major exhibition dedicated to Jean Vodaine, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the richness of his work through a step-by-step journey into 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 who lived in Lorraine. Originally trained as a manual worker, he later dedicated himself to artisanal printing and painting. In the late 1940s, he launched his first magazine, Poésie avec nous, and went on to publish other magazines, some with international resonance. He published works by Arrabal, Henry Miller, Léopold Sédar Senghor, Ernest Hemingway, Allen Ginsberg, as well as engravings by Gaston Chaissac and Jean Dubuffet. Passionate about his work, he said: "I do not make art, I make things. I make things to better serve poetry."
