Autograph poem by André Pieyre de Mandiargues signed A.P.M. and dated June 5, 1974 entitled "Le plus libre graveur" and which he dedicated to Joan Miro.
Written in black ballpoint pen on a sheet, the poem, of 44 lines, contains some crossings-out and manuscript additions as well as an addition of a cut and pasted sheet in the lower right corner of the poem.
This text celebrating the painter Joan Miro and his style was published in the review XXe siècle in December 1974:
"Feu d'air ou feu de terre
 Feu de feu ou feu d'eau
 Le haut feu de Miro
 Se fait esprit de sel
 Acide ardent fumant
 Machoîre du dieu ivre
 Qui va mordre le cuivre...
...
Parfois il grave sur le givre
 il invente le regard
 il noie le soleil
 Il l'ébouillante
 Parfois il balance l'homme
 Il bascule la demoiselle,
...
 La grande lingerie des noirs
 Des bleus des rouges des roses
 Des jaunes et des verts 
 Claquant au vent de Majorque
Un grand pavois d'allégresse
 Imposé au blanc d'une page..."

Beautiful poem by André Pieyre de Mandiargues celebrating the abundant style of vivid colors of the painter and engraver Joan Miro.
