Further Information on the person
Profession:
(born Eugène Émile Paul Grindel; 1895-1952) French poet and one of the founders of the Surrealist movement
Year of Birth: 1895
Paul Éluard, born Eugène Émile Paul Grindel on December 14, 1895, was a French poet considered one of the most important figures of the Surrealist movement.
Éluard began writing poetry at a young age and published his first collection, "Le Devoir," in 1912 under the pseudonym of Paul Éluard.
During World War I, Éluard served in the French army, an experience that greatly influenced his poetry and political beliefs. He became involved in the Dada movement in the early 1920s and later joined the Surrealist group led by André Breton.
Éluard's poetry often explored themes of love, desire, and the unconscious mind, with a strong emphasis on the power of language to evoke deep emotions and connections.
His most famous works include "Capitale de la douleur" (1926) and "L'Amour la Poésie" (1929), both of which solidified his reputation as a leading voice in the Surrealist movement.
Éluard continued to write poetry and publish collections throughout his life, earning numerous awards and accolades for his contributions to French literature. He passed away on November 18, 1952, leaving behind a rich legacy of innovative and influential poetry.
