Number of pages: 2 pages These documents come from an exceptional collection of correspondences, manuscripts and notes dating from 1939-1940 by Max Jacob, a major figure of French symbolism and modernism, who was at once a poet, novelist, painter and mystic, and Pierre Lagarde, author of Max Jacob: mystique ou martyr (Éditions Universitaires, 1959). They attest to a close intellectual and spiritual relationship between the two men. Pierre Lagarde, a careful reader and faithful friend, drew from the meditations, inventions and letters that Jacob had entrusted to him the very material of his work. These pieces, of a mystic and poetic scope, illustrate the direct transmission between Max Jacob’s spiritual experience and the critical interpretation Lagarde gave it. These documents are essential to understanding Jacob’s last creative period and the work undertaken by Pierre Lagarde to preserve its depth and religious dimension. - Max Jacob, born Max Jacob Alexandre on July 12, 1876 in Quimper and died March 5, 1944 in Drancy, is a modernist poet and novelist but also a French painter.
