Biography

Marseilles

Poet Symbolist, Saint-Pol.-Russet-red was born in a middle-class family from Marseilles. He studies in a Lyons college where he stops his studies mysteriously. He then writes some plays under his own name.

Parisian years

He leaves to settle with Paris. He attends in particular the living room of Stephan Mallarmé for which it with greatest admiration. He gains a certain notoriety, tests some pseudonyms and becomes " Saint-Pol.-russet-red the magnifique". He tries to make play one of his parts the Lady with the forgery by Sarah Bernhardt. He is even interviewed by Jules Huret, as a member of the movement Symbolist. He would have perhaps taken part in the esthetic Rosicrucian brotherhood of Péladan. However he did not write anything on this movement or his founder. Saint-Pol.-russet-red was undoubtedly interested in this daring literary attempt, and had to leave it quickly.

The voluntary exile

Saint-Pol.-russet-red the capital in 1898 leaves. It will quickly exécra the capital for its ostracism and the mediocrity of the medium of the literary criticism, which it was unaware of with as much superb than it ignored it. On the councils of conspicuous, but also to escape its creditors, it leaves the first time in the Ardennes. It settles then with his wife with Roscanvel in the Finistere, where is born his/her Divine daughter. Following the death of his father, industrial Marseilles easy, it settles with Camaret and made Brittany the center of gravity of its work. It benefits from subsidies which an opera had ensured to him, Louise , of which it had written the booklet to buy a house overhanging the ocean, above the beach of PEN Had, on the road of the point of PEN Hir. It nicely transforms it into manor baroque (the manor of Coecilian, of the name of his/her son - called also sometimes manor of Boultous) which one can still see the ruins. “Vis-a-vis the sea, the man is more close to God”, said it.

He receives many artists and writers, in particular Louis-Ferdinand Céline, members of the surrealist movement who regard it as a predecessor, and even, in 1930, Jean Moulin, then sub-prefect of Châteaulin.

Saint-Pol.-russet-red was member of the Mallarmé academy of 1937 to 1940.

Tragic death of Saint-Pol.-Russet-red

In the night from June 22nd to 23rd 1940, a drunk German soldier invests the manor, kills faithful controlling, viol his/her daughter Divine and seriously wounds it with the leg of a ball of revolver. Saint-Pol.-russet-red escapes death miraculeusement. Transported on October 14th at the hospital of Brest, Saint-Pol.-Russet-red “the Splendid one”, “magus of Camaret”, dies there of sorrow on October 18th when he learns that its manor was set fire to and its new writings flarings.

A forgotten poet

Starting from the Release, Divine will try in vain that the lapse of memory is not done on the work of his/her father. It is mainly thanks to the work of rescue, grubbing and publication of the Rougerie editions that during these years of “purgatory”, the poems, tests and plays survivors of cruelty Nazi were published or republished. A considerable mass of new manuscripts ( the Treasury of the Man , Répoétique ) survived plundering.

Saint-Pol.-russet-red the prototype of the “forgotten poet represents”. It is for this reason that André Breton dedicates her to him Clair of Ground (as to “those which as him offer the splendid pleasure of being made forget (sic)” and than Vercors to him the Silence of the sea dedicates (“the assassinated poet”).

Work theRusset-red one

Saint-Pol.-russet-red tried to create a total work of art. This dream of the literature Symbolist, consisted in creating a perfect work answering all the directions. Saint-Pol.-russet-red had thus been interested in the theatrical kind and the opera, during its Parisian years. At the end of its life, it is filled with wonder at the artistic possibilities offered by the cinema.

Saint-Pol.-russet-red also created the concept of ideorealism . It wished an artistic fusion between the real-world and the world of the ideas, from the point of view neoplatonician. He imagines a cosmology, where the Beauté lost in the real-world must be revealed by the poet.
