Lost Body by Aimé Césaire & Pablo Picasso For the first time since its original publication in a limited edition of 200 copies, this volume of Lost Body, one of Aimé Césaire's most powerful collections of poetry, unites the poems with illustrations especailly made for them by Pablo Picasso. As a leading proponent of négritude, Césaire's poems explore and develop black culture, awareness, and selfhood, and it was just these themes that attracted Picasso to them. Fascinated by Césaire's use of surrealist structures and metaphors that suggest black-African origins, the artist, for whom primitivism and surrealism had been equally important to his development, sought to creat a close visual equivalent. The result is a splendid example of artistic collaboration by two of the century's most inventive minds. PA, ISBN: 0807611484 $14.95 (Can: $22.50)
