Description
- Artaud, Antonin
- Horoscope autographe d'Artaud par lui-même.Paris, 10 décembre 1935.
Horoscope autographe dans lequel Artaud a noté ses date et lieu de naissance, et porté en face de chaque planète un idéogramme. Son analyse conclut : "Je rencontre 3 bons aspects : Jupiter avant la Lune, Mercure derrière moi, Jupiter Vénus Lune Soleil". Il a encadré "Caractère critique mécontent". On lit à droite de la page des fragments d'un texte étrange, sorte d'écriture automatique : "Vu Cécile 2 fois assise me tournant le dos, se lève en effet brusquement mais s'en va. Le soir Cécile baisée par un pédéraste chapeau vert manteau marron sombre...".
Au verso, Artaud a couvert la page de mots difficilement lisibles, pratiquant une sorte de prosodie incantatoire inspirée par son thème astral (Paris, 10 décembre 1935, 2 p. in-4).

Catalogue Note
La maîtrise de l'astrologie par Artaud n'est pas étonnante, en regard de sa fascination pour les rites, la magie et son irréductible croyance en des forces supra-humaines. " Nous ne sommes pas libres. Et le ciel peut encore nous tomber sur la tête. Et le théâtre est fait pour nous apprendre d'abord cela. ".
