M J Self-Portrait.

Max Jacob, est né en 1876 à Quimper et est mort le 5 mars 1944 à Drancy.
Poéte, romancier, peintre c’est un précurseur du Dadaisme puis du surréalisme. Il fut ami de Pablo Picasso, de Guillaume Apollinaire, de Marie Laurencin, de Modigliani...
Ses origines ashkénazes lui valent, six mois avant la Libération de Paris, d'être arrêté par la Gestapo. Interné par la gendarmerie française dans le camp de Drancy, il y meurt en cinq jours, trente heures avant sa déportation programmée pour Auschwitz.

Cet auto-portrait est une copie de l’original, reproduit sur un mur de la cour intérieure de la maison natale de Max Jacob. Désormais un café restaurant.
