EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a rare treasure from the literary world - "Le Devoir et l'Inquietude - Poemes" handwritten by Gala in 1917. The delicate pen and ink on paper composition exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, drawing viewers into the poetic realm created by Gala's skilled hand. Measuring 16x12 cm each, these precious leaves hold within them the essence of a profound connection between art and love. This particular collection is part of a private collection, adding to its exclusivity and allure. It is worth noting that Gala Grindel-Eluard, wife of renowned poet Paul Eluard, penned these enchanting verses. The image captures not only the beauty of this manuscript but also provides insight into the intimate relationship shared by two creative souls. Eugene Grindel's (Paul Eluard) influence can be seen in every stroke as his wife pours her heart onto each page. Gala's handwriting reflects both her artistic prowess and emotional depth, making this piece an invaluable addition to any literature enthusiast's collection. The poem itself explores themes of duty and unease ("devoir" meaning duty in French), offering readers a glimpse into Gala's innermost thoughts during that period. Preserved through time, this extraordinary work serves as a testament to the power of poetry to transcend boundaries and touch hearts across generations. Its significance lies not only in its literary value but also in its ability to capture moments frozen forever within inked lines on fragile pages
