Elisa Breton Bindorff (b. Viña del Mar in Chile, 25 April 1906, d. Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, 5 April 2000), was a French artist and writer, and the third wife of the French writer and surrealist André Breton. ==Biography== The accomplished pianist Elisa Bindorff married the Chilean politician Benjamin Claro. They had a daughter, Ximena. After her divorce, she emigrated to the United States with her daughter. On 13 August 1943 during a boat trip off the coast of Massachusetts, Ximena drowned. After a suicide attempt, Elisa was joined in New York by a friend who came from Chile to support her. On 9 or 10 December 1943, they went to a French restaurant on 56th Street in Manhattan.〔Date cited by Breton in 1945, in his dedication to Elisa in the manuscript ''Arcane 17''. Cited by Étienne-Alain Hubert, ''André Breton, œuvres complètes, tome 3: notice p. 1177.〕 Breton lived in the same street, and frequented this restaurant. He noticed Elisa, presented himself as a French writer and asked permission to exchange a few words with her. The attraction was mutual: In the summer of 1944, they travelled in the Gaspé Peninsula in the northeast of Canada. From September to October, Breton wrote ''Arcane 17'', a poetic work combining declarations of love for Elisa with philosophical, historical and mythological considerations. After the publication of the book, Breton dubbed the manuscript, "this book of high truancy."〔 In August 1945, for practical reasons, André Breton and Elisa Bindorff married in Reno, Nevada. On this occasion, they visited Hopi Indian reservations.〔 They returned to France on May 25, 1946. In Paris, Elisa Breton participated in the surrealist journals ''Médium'' and ''Le Surréalisme même'', at the International Surrealist Exhibition held at the gallery of Daniel Cordier (December 1959-January 1960) and at an exhibition dedicated to collages, drawings and prints at the Le Ranelagh gallery (1965). In the shadow of the theorist of surrealism, she expressed her talent by making surrealist boxes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elisa Breton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
