Pierre Reverdy ( September 13, 1889 – June 17, 1960) was
a French poet whose works were inspired by and subsequently proceeded to
influence the provocative art movements of the day, Surrealism, Dadaism and
Cubism. The loneliness and spiritual apprehension that ran through his poetry
appealed to the Surrealist credo. He, though, remained independent of the
prevailing “isms,” searching for something beyond their definitions. His
writing matured into a mystical mission seeking, as he wrote: “the sublime
simplicity of reality."
