Abstract
Among all pictures present in Albert Skira’s series « Les sentiers de la création », the reframed ones are worth considering. A personal eye appears through the details that become their main subject. What thoughts on detail do the reframed pictures express? They show a particular way of borrowing and quoting other people’s work. The way of inserting those pictures in the text are various and sometimes, the detail seems to be diverted from its original function or meaning. How are other people’s works quoted in those books? What is at stake in pictorial quotation when, being part of an author’s reflection on his own creation, the picture passes, through reframing, from an imaginative world to another. This paper will focus on the books containing “reframed details” that is to say those written by Pierre Alechinsky, Yves Bonnefoy, Michel Butor, Octavio Paz, Gaëtan Picon, Elsa Triolet and Claude Simon.
