JACQUES PRÉVERT
Éphémérides
Jacques Prévert was born 125 years ago. On this occasion, L'Exemplaire present to you on a little-known work by one of the most famous French poets.
In the 60s, every day, on a large sheet of paper, Prévert drew a long, stylized, brightly colored flower and wrote down appointments and details not to be forgotten.
As the days go by, you can read the names of Picasso, Édith Piaf or Brigitte Bardot, his appointments with publishers and printers or with his hairdresser.
These ephemerides are witnesses of his life over a period of ten years, like flowery haikus.
