But it was his story, mixed life and work, says Robert Belleret here as he did in writing the biography of Leo Ferré reference ( An artist's life , Actes Sud, 1996). Following the path of Jean Tenenbaum, now Ferrat, one of the most popular artists of the last half century, he left in the shadows any time, the nest of Versailles to the development of festive Antraigues _ via Paris and Ivry _ or any facet of a complex personality. Reserved, even secretive, Jean anger and amazement, committed artist and sometimes enraged, against injustice, the formatting of the spirits, the star system, cynicism haves and the arrogance of power, was also a hedonist who loved to laugh and play. More than you think ...
How obscure guitar players did he become the author and melody inspired by "Night and Fog " , "The Mountain ; ', "Comrade " "My France" some 200 songs and unforgettable? How fragile man he faced the pressures of the scene? To what extent was it influenced by Aragon, his master to vibrate _ which he adapted thirty-two poems _ and what singular correspondence connected it to the poet whose life tumultuous century that married ?
