Short Biography
Lebel, Robert was born on January 5, 1901, in Paris, France. He was a Surrealist poet, art critic, and a central figure in the post-war Parisian art world. He worked closely with Marcel Duchamp, about whom he wrote the first monograph. His work, both poetic and theoretical, contributed to the dissemination and theoretical reflection of Surrealism in the post-war period.
Connection to the Book World
As a poet, Lebel collaborated on various Surrealist 'livres d'artiste'. His essays and poetry were illustrated by avant-garde artists, including Duchamp and Max Ernst, in editions that blurred the line between text and image. His contribution to bibliophily is that of a privileged witness and theorist of Surrealism.
