Description

Art, littérature, ethnographie... Entrecroisant ces trois disciplines, l'ouvrage, publié à l'occasion de l'exposition "Leiris & Co.", présentée au Centre Pompidou-Metz, retrace la vie et l'oeuvre de Michel Leiris (1901-1990). Ecrivain, poète, ethnologue, ami des grands artistes de son temps : Masson, Picasso, Miro, Giacometti, Lam, Bacon, Michel Leiris se situe à la périphérie des grands courants du siècle et annonce de façon visionnaire les enjeux contemporains issus de la mondialisation et des études postcoloniales. Plus qu'un portrait de l'homme aux multiples facettes, il s'agit ici d'une autre lecture de la modernité qui va de Raymond Roussel à Picasso, en passant par l'Afrique (la mission Dakar-Djibouti en 1931), le jazz, la tauromachie, l'opéra. En marge du surréalisme, il rencontre Max Jacob, puis Georges Bataille, avec lequel il partage non seulement l'aventure de la revue Documents, mais aussi l'intérêt pour le sacré, l'érotisme et la mort. Pendant la guerre il se lie avec Jean-Paul Sartre, puis avec Aimé Césaire, qui lui fait découvrir le syncrétisme des Antilles. Son engagement révolutionnaire va le conduire également en Chine et à Cuba. Son oeuvre littéraire (L'Age d'homme, L'Afrique fantôme, La Règle du jeu) est une vaste quête autobiographique, dans laquelle il souhaite "introduire ne fût-ce que l'ombre d'une corne de taureau". Conçu comme un journal, le livre déroule année par année une chronologie de Michel Leiris, dialoguant avec une cinquantaine d'essais de nombreux auteurs. Largement illustré d'oeuvres, de documents, et de manuscrits, il constitue l'ouvrage le plus complet sur le parcours de cet écrivain singulier dont l'oeuvre a une résonance particulière sur l'art de notre temps.
