Signed French-language book: Poèmes pour tous par Paul Eluard: Choix de 1917-1952. First edition. Paris, France: Editeurs Francais Reunis, 1952. Softcover, 4.75 x 7.5, 233 pages. Signed prominently on the first free end page in red artist pencil, "Picasso," and in ballpoint by Eluard's widow, Dominique Lemort. The half-title page is signed in blue artist pencil by fellow French artist Fernand Leger. Autographic condition: fine, with some light surface impressions in the lower blank area of the signed page. Book condition: VG/None, with minor creasing to spine and uniform toning to textblock and wrappers. A desirable book signed by two of France’s most esteemed and influential creators, their ‘artist pencil’ signatures a fitting tribute to the book’s late author, Paul Eluard, a fellow master of the surreal who was close friends with both Picasso and Leger.
