.a: Hymne (1914), .b: Façon (1915)

André Breton
French, 1896–1966
Yves Tanguy
American, born France. 1900–1955
1941
A handwritten poem by André Breton rendered in red ink and pencil and punctuated with a pasted printed “1914” tab, fusing lyric voice and small-scale collage on a single sheet.
What strikes you first is the bright, blocky red “1914” above Breton’s flowing crimson cursive on warm, roomy paper—an intimate, almost urgent page that feels like a private note made public.
By pairing handwritten verse with found printed fragments, this sheet links Breton’s wartime memory and lyricism to the collage, chance procedures, and automatic writing that helped define Surrealist practice.
