Andrée Caraire was a French poet and writer associated with mid-twentieth-century literary circles.
Georges Ribemont-Dessaignes (1890–1974) was a writer, dramatist and poet, linked to Dada and Surrealism. He wrote the preface and a poem for this volume.
Max Papart (1911–1994) was a French painter and printmaker known for his colourful, often carnival-like imagery and his skill in linocut and other print techniques. His two original linogravures, one in colour, are an important part of the book’s artistic value.
André Villers (1920–2003) was a celebrated French photographer, especially known for his portraits of artists and his reportage work. The ten phototypic plates in this book reproduce his photographs, which complement Papart’s linogravures.
The book is a tribute to Alberto Magnelli (1888–1971), the Italian painter who was one of the pioneers of abstract art
The title, Telle la feuille et l’arbre (“As the leaf, so the tree”), suggests continuity between master and followers, part and whole.
It’s signed by all four contributors, and the most notable is Georges Ribemont-Dessaignes (1884–1974), one of the original Dada writers in Paris alongside Tzara, Picabia and Breton,
Andrée Caraire is the pen name of Andrée Garbit, the wife of the artist Max Papart
Max Papart (1911–1994) was a painter, engraver and collagist whose work is close in spirit to Magnelli’s: clear, structured, abstract forms. His two original linocuts, one in black and one in colour, are original prints, not reproductions.
