PONGE (Francis). - Lot 868
PONGE (Francis).
The Meadow Factory. Geneva, Skira, " Les Sentiers de la Création ", 1971, 8°, ill. and facsimiles without text, brown half-marquin, smooth spine, gilt title along the length, gilt head, cover and spine. (spine thinned) (binding signed L. Lefebvre). The publication, in 1971, of La Fabrique du Pré was Francis Ponge's response to the desire to open his "workshop" and to offer the reader the possibility of witnessing, after the fact but as in the present, the making of his texts, in this case "Le pré", published a few years earlier. Restoring the history of his writing through his successive drafts implied adjustments and, in particular, certain "artifices of layout" - but "without cheating" - to take the reader "by the arm". In the case of La Fabrique du pré, the project of explaining, in act, a poetic art leads to a beautiful editorial object that seems to elude its author, even though he was associated with its realization. In particular, we see it taking shape - without his knowledge? - (J.-C. Depaule, La fable d'une fabrique. Ponge et son pré).
