A restored head back hitch, a split bit then glued the bottom, a tiny corner missing in the first flat foot, another foot in the last guard, four spots on the second course.
Called "cubist poetry", the first collection of poems of Aragon is marked by new acquaintances and friendships of the poet: Breton, Tzara, Reverdy and Picasso through which he met Fernand Léger who was one of the first to exhibit paintings Cubist-inspired.
However, long before the future artistic collaborations between Aragon and Light, this dedication among regulars boat wash at the end of the Great War reflects many artistic complicity as a brotherhood in arms between two hairy deeply affected by the conflict.
The traumatic experience of the trenches, which distinguishes them from Breton and Picasso among others, both to preserve the orthodoxy of the avant-garde movements and helps to anchor their art in social reality.
This first joint test links the two artists beyond their artistic and political struggles. On the death of the painter, Louis Aragon devoted a long poem to be published in my travels.

"People met in the war / Leger you very much alike"
"Fernand / Light / I speak / I take the war by the hand or foot / Because in the latter days when we foolishly thought / that was it / him her life she was always just as if there was / still war "
"There you are (...) as a soldier who has gone for good this time of the / war / (...) You are there as a large white peace and joyful / / Forever / / O / Leger measures just your excess / (...) You have learned a lot from many including fourteen / But you do not make a lot of hay / You're happy to be in the sun and shine. "
Invaluable dedication to the poet painter at the dawn of their careers and their friendship.
