CHOPIN (Henri).
Le Ciel violet des archi-choses qui ont peur de vivre...
S.l., 2005. - One sheet 845 x 460, framed.


Extremely rare first edition of this dactylo-poem by avant-garde artist and poet Henri Chopin (1922-2008), composed in August 2005 on a sheet nearly a meter long and signed by the author.

These works are visual poems created on a typewriter, in which the author superimposes letters, numbers and signs to form dense visual textures and abstract compositions. The term "dactylo-poem" was coined by Chopin in the 1960s to designate this new form of poetry, on the border between writing and drawing.

One of 10 copies on Japon (no. 1).
