Reviews
This unpublished text by Michel Butor is half way between essay and poetical homage to the American artist, met by the French writer during his academic and literary career.In Butor's own words: "I have been able to write a little about Jasper Johns and of him. I have tried to write for him. Only he can say if I have succeeded".Original French text, translated to English and to German.Illustrations: colour reproductions of Jasper John's works from the collections of the Kunstmuseum of Basle, Switzerland.Il s'agit d'un texte inédit de Michel Butor, à mi-chemin entre l'essai et l'hommage poétique à l'artiste américain, que l'écrivain français a rencontré à plusieurs reprises pendant sa carrière académique et littéraire.Dans les propres mots de l'auteur: "J'ai pu écrire quelque peu à propos de Jasper Johns et sur lui. J'ai essayé d'écrire pour lui. Quant à savoir si j'ai réussi, lui seul peut le dire".Es handelt sich um einen unveröffentlichten Text, halbwegs zwischen Essay und poetische Hommage an den amerikanischen Künstler, dem der französische Schriftsteller mehrmals in seiner akademischen und poetischen Laufbahn begegnete. Nach den Worten des Autors: "Ich konnte ein wenig von Jasper Johns und über ihn schreiben. Ich habe versucht, für ihn zu schreiben. Ob mir das gelungen ist, vermag nur er alleine zu sagen."
