One of 54 copies on vellum d'Arches. - Rare first edition of this typographic poem, a triangular portrait of the painter, illustrated "under the sign of the wave and the snake" by the Russian painter Serge Charchoune (1888-1975), who lived mainly in France and died in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges. Charchoune was a student of Henri Le Fauconnier and associated with Albert Gleizes, Marie Laurencin, and Francis Picabia. He was a member of the DADA movement at the Café Certá, organized at the "Trial of Barrès" by André Breton, and exhibited in Paris with Tristan Tzara at the Montaigne Gallery and in Berlin at the Der Sturm Gallery. In this work he multiplies the registers in an unexpected game, offering the poet "signs, letters, banknotes, magic triangles, musical messages, imaginary writings, sphynx and graphic snakes, silhouettes and signatures." The beautiful bibliophile Printing by Marthe Fequet and Pierre Baudier in Paris. - Well preserved.
