ANDRÉ VERDET
André Verdet was one of the protagonists of French culture and art of the 20th century; exponent of the twentieth-century French poetic-pictorial critic, interpreter and esthete of Mediterranean thought, but also writer, poet, jazz musician and tireless dancer. He served in the colonial troops. His first book was published in 1939: Histoire origines du pays de Saint Paul, which was followed by numerous collections of poems. In 1941 he met the poet Jacques Prévert with whom he subsequently published four books of poems, and a young extra, Simone Signoret. He was one of the most involved in the clandestine struggle and during the resistance he became responsible for a counter-espionage and sabotage network of the “Combat” movement. He was saved from the Germans on several occasions by Prévert who also collaborated with the Resistance, helping several friends at his own risk. He is arrested and deported to Auschwitz and Buchenwald.
