.a: Lingères (1912), .b: Hommage (1913)

André Breton
French, 1896–1966
Yves Tanguy
American, born France. 1900–1955
1941
A spiral‑notebook page by Yves Tanguy, written in ink and anchored by a small cut‑and‑pasted printed date, in which he preserves and frames short poems (Lingères; Hommage) as a personal collage of text and ephemera.
The eye is drawn to the neat, even cursive set in the page’s center beneath a little pasted “1912” label, the creamy paper, wide margins, and visible spiral binding giving the handwriting a quiet, archival presence.
This humble sheet shows Tanguy treating printed material and handwriting as visual elements—a private, Surrealist blending of text, memory, and collage that points to modern art’s erasure of boundaries between word and image.
