Une Saison en Enfer (A Season in Hell) from Arthur Rimbaud: Oeuvres Completes

Gustavo Cochet's original woodcut, Une Saison en Enfer (A Season in Hell), dates from 1943. In that year the Buenos Aires publisher, Viau, commissioned Gustavo Cochet to create three woodcuts to illustrate a book of verses by the enigmatic French poet, Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891). The publication was titled, Arthur Rimbaud: Oeuvres completes. The original owner of the portfolio attractively framed both the poem and woodcut together. Saison en Enfer is a fine, original example of the graphic art created by Argentinean artist, Gustavo Cochet.

Note:	Gustavo Cochet: One of Argentina's finest twentieth century artists, Gustavo Cochet first studied under Cesar Caggiano in Buenos Aires, and then went to Barcelona at the age of seventeen to study painting and printmaking under Jose Dalmau and Lotrenil. Four years later he had his first one man exhibition there at Galeria Dalmau. In 1920 Gustavo Cochet moved to Paris and began regularly exhibiting his art in that city. He then enlisted in the French army, serving for a year.
	Gustavo Cochet returned to Rosario in 1928 and in 1931 his book, Diario de un pintor, was published. In 1934 he was again in Spain, taking an active role with the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War. Cochet also became an influential member of the Federacion Anarquista Iberica at this time. In this decade he created a series of 22 aquatints dealing with the horrors of war, entitled, Caprichos.
	Because of the defeat of the Republicans in 1939, Gustavo Cochet and his family fled to France. Several years later he returned permanently to his native Argentina, living in Santa Fe where a large exhibition of his art was held at the Museo Rosa Galsteo de Rodriguez. He also served as Professor of Painting there at the Escuela de Bellas Artes.
	Gustavo Cochet was also a fine writer. Besides Diario de un pintor, he authored such books as Entre el Ilanyo y sierra (1939), and El grabado: historia y tecnica (1943). Today a large collection of Cochet's art is housed in the Museo Gustavo Cochet, Funes, Argentina.
Source:	Une Saison en Enfer hails from a limited edition portfolio entitled Arthur Rimbaud: Oeuvres completes published by Viau in Buenos Aires in 1943. The first few opening lines read; Une Saison en Enfer "Jadis, si je me souviens bien, ma vie etait un festin ou s'ouvraient tous les coeurs, ou rous les vins coulaient. Un soir, J'ai assis la Beaute sur mes Genoux. -- Et je l'ai injuriee. Je me suis arme contre la justice. Je me suis enfui. O sorcieres, o misere, o haine, c'est a vous que mon treswor a ete confie! Je parvins a faire s'evanouir dans mon espirit toute l'esperance humaine. Sur toute joie, pur L'etrangler, j'ai fait le bond sourd de la bete feroce. J'ai appele les bourreaux pour, enperissant, mordre la crosse de leurs fusils. Jai appele les fleaux, pour m‘ etouffer avec le sable, le snag. Le malheur a ete mon dieu. Je me suis allonge dans la boue. Je me suis seche a l‘air du crime. Et j‘ai joue de bons tours a la folie" Arthur Rimbaud ...." Arthur Rimbaud
