Roger CAILLOIS (1913-1978) The Dragon Tree, 1970 Original ink drawing Signed in ink On paper 24 x 15.5 cm PROVENANCE: This drawing comes from the personal collection of Pierre Lhoste. As a radio journalist, Pierre Lhoste (1913-1984) asked the personalities he interviewed to sign an autograph accompanied by a drawing of a tree, thus creating a unique record of his interviews. INFORMATION: Roger Caillois was a French writer, sociologist, essayist and academician. A polymath, he was interested in literature, sociology, mythology and the natural sciences. A member of the Collège de Sociologie group with Georges Bataille, he was also director of collections at Gallimard and a translator of Borges. His major work, Le Mythe et l'Homme, explores the relationship between the sacred, play, nature and culture. Elected to the Académie française in 1971, he embodied a humanism that was erudite and curious about everything. Very good condition, edges slightly damaged and yellowed.
