Le fantôme d’un chef-d’œuvre absent Au milieu des vitraux de l’Apocalypse et les illustrations de Jean Charlot

The illustrations of Jean Charlot for Au Milieu des Vitraux de l’Apocalypse were never published with the text. The poet and the Franco-Mexican painter created them between 1931 and 1933 in the United States in a fruitful collaboration that brought together Claudel’s Biblical explorations and Charlot’s artistic knowledge and talents. A detailed examination of five drawings and a general overview of the others allows a unique access to the work.
