Label Text:Radiguet, born in 1903, was the child prodigy of the cubist and dadaist avant-garde. In 1920, he published his first collection of poems LES JOUES EN FEU. This copy of the book was the posthumous second edition, for in December 1923, the young poet died of typhoid. The frontispiece is a collotype reproduction of the portrait of Radiguet which Picasso had drawn on transfer paper in December 1920.
