Jacques Prévert
Jacques Prévert was a celebrated French poet and screenwriter, born on February 4, 1900, in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. He passed away on April 11, 1977, in Omonville-la-Petite, France. Prévert's work is renowned for its place within the poetic realism movement, and his poems remain popular, especially in French-speaking regions and educational settings. His involvement with the Surrealist movement and the Groupe Octobre theater company reflected his commitment to left-wing causes, which he supported throughout his life. Prévert's poetry collections, such as "Paroles" (1946), "Spectacle" (1951), and "Histoires" (1963), often explore themes of life in Paris and post-World War II experiences. Many of his poems were set to music by composers like Joseph Kosma and were performed by notable artists including Yves Montand and Édith Piaf. Prévert also made significant contributions to film, collaborating with director Marcel Carné on classics like "Les Enfants du Paradis" (1945). His legacy endures through his influential works and the educational institutions bearing his name.
