A remarkable light on Kafka himself

Kafka was not a writer, he was also a draftsman, strongly inspired by the Impressionist movement as evidenced by the analyzes that have been made by various experts. Reconstitute a collection of drawings by Kafka is a challenge. Indeed, his work was dispersed after his death, and after the war. Note that the Nazis as the Communists were outlawed Kafka because of his visionary view of totalitarian and his work has been repeatedly jeopardized. Some of the drawings were protected by the executors to the death of Kafka's friend Max Brod, to whom we owe the discovery of Kafka, despite his desire to see all his work destroyed after his death ...

The drawings, hieroglyphic or calligraphic impressions, highlight the main areas of Kafka's reflections on himself, on his world and especially the World ... They bring new insights, modern and timeless words its precursors, which are understandable given the exact place they occupy in its literature ... They are remarkably accurate and they reveal a clear draughtsmanship. Each drawing has an essential place in his writings; it is as much a visible and legible signs, figurative or not, a protest, a surrender to improvisation ... The drawings of Kafka, that coordinate with a plural reading the various scriptures are not the gribouills that we discover in Proust, for example, it is the pulse of a writer who gives way to tightrope or acrobat.
