Antoine de SAINT-EXUPERY
[Dessin original signé] Personnage fantastique à la mine de plomb et crayons de couleur
s.l. s.d. [1942], 13,4x20,9cm, une feuille.
« Je ne sais pas ce qui m'a pris, je dessine toute la journée et de ce fait les heures me paraissent moins brèves. J'ai découvert ce pourquoi j'étais fait : le crayon Conté mine de charbon. »
[‘I don't know what came over me; I draw all day, and the hours seem less fleeting as a result. I've discovered my true calling: the charcoal Conté pencil.']
From sketches of barrack mates made in Casablanca during his military service to the watercolours of The Little Prince, Saint-Exupéry's life also included an important side-activity: drawing. On letters to his friends, in the margins of his manuscripts, in books he gave away, telegrams, invoices, tablecloths, leaflets - everything he could get his hands on that could serve as a canvas for his imagination - Saint-Exupéry drew, sketched, caricatured, illustrated, invented and doodled living and imaginary people, friends and girlfriends. He would often casually discard these ephemeral works, extensions of his moods and daydreams.
