Robert Caby... drawings
the lovely drawings of Robert Caby
Caby had a long and richly varied life and at various points, was engaged in writing art criticism and political articles, composing and arranging concerts, creating surrealistic drawings and dealing with rare books and paintings. His wide circle of friends included important musicians and artists of the time such as Erik Satie, Darius Milhaud, Pablo Picasso, Francis Poulenc, Charles Koechlin and Henri Sauguet. In the mid 1960's he was responsible for the posthumous publication of Satie's unpublished works from sketchbooks and was important in awakening public interest in the composer. By the time of his own death, he had composed some 900 works.

Hermann Naumann...the Temptation of St Anthony...
Illustration for The Temptation of St. Anthony 1965
"O bliss! bliss! I have seen the birth of life; I have seen the
beginning of motion. The blood beats so strongly in my veins that it
seems about to burst them. I feel a longing to fly, to swim, to bark, to
bellow, to howl. I would like to have wings, a tortoise-shell, a rind,
to blow out smoke, to wear a trunk, to twist my body, to spread myself
everywhere, to be in everything, to emanate with odours, to grow like
plants, to flow like water, to vibrate like sound, to shine like light,
to be outlined on every form, to penetrate every atom, to descend to the
very depths of matter--to be matter!" The Temptation of St. Anthony or A Revelation of the Soul -
Gustave Flaubert
