ANDRE (Francis). "Le Sous-marin à voiles". N° 5. The first 8 joys of marriage - No. 6. The last seven joys of marriage. Brux, L'Auteur, 1950, 2 fasc. 4°, sheets, illustrated cover (covers heavily stained). Reunion of 2 issues (of 8 in total) from the post-war series of "Le Sous-marin à voiles" magazine. First edition. Sailor, yachtsman, journalist, painter, draftsman, sculptor, decorator, costume designer and inventor, Francis André (Mons, 1906 - Brussels, 1972) was a maverick and anarchist. He dropped out of university to sail around the world on cargo ships, until he found himself imprisoned in a camp during the Second World War. Initially a cartoonist, he expressed himself in his own magazine, 'Le Sous-marin à voiles', "a small independent organ of the dolent navigation and troubled little song of the maritime continent". He then went on to create animated stage statues for the Théâtre royal de la Monnaie in Brussels, leaving behind a whole world of automata-totems. Francis André is a visionary, an anxious man, a poet of movement and mechanics.
