A conversation with Diane de Selliers, Anna Hiddleston, and Françoise Delphy at the American Library in Paris. Filmed on 11/10/2023 with a live audience both in person and on Zoom.
In an evening celebrating American art and Franco-American relations, we were delighted to present Poésies d’Emily Dickinson, published by Éditions Diane de Selliers.
Since 1992, Éditions Diane de Selliers has been committed to building bridges between words and images to produce books that stand the test of time.
Once a year, they publish a major literary or poetic text alongside monumental pieces of art history, staging a conversation across the works and opening a dialogue between the written word and the visual world.
This year, they have elected to open their repertoire to American literature, and share with their readers the captivating American modernist paintings of the early 20th century. Touched by the sensitivity, spirituality, modernity and universality that run through her work, this esteemed publishing house has chosen Emily Dickinson as its first American voice.
Accompanied by Anna Hiddleston, curator at the Centre Pompidou and a specialist in American painting, Diane de Selliers and her team combined a selection of Emily Dickinson's poems with paintings by Edward Hopper, Georgia O'Keeffe, Charles Sheeler, Arthur Dove, Agnes Pelton, Marguerite Zorach, Helen Torr and some sixty other artists from the first half of the twentieth century. New depths to Emily Dickinson’s work is unveiled in a selection of 160 poems, presented in their original version and translated into French by Françoise Delphy. Her powerful, incisive and resolutely modern language, at odds with the literature of her time, resonates perfectly with American modernism. In sum, the book is a voyage to the heart of the American continent.
Françoise Delphy, Anna Hiddleston and Diane de Selliers spoke at the Library, offering their insight into American art and poetry.
