Life and career

He earned a degree in literature and worked for a publishing house. He published several poetry collections in the 1930s before starting to write for the stage. After World War II, Tardieu entered the world of radio and worked his way to head of dramatic programming and then director of programs at France-Music. The quality and success of French National Public Radio after World War II has been attributed largely to Jean Tardieu.

He was married to pteridologist Marie Laure Tardieu.[1]

Tardieu's works mingled with the ideals of the French New Theatre and used comedy to pick apart more traditional theatre. He is often associated with the Theatre of the Absurd.

Some of his work has been translated into English, including:

• The Underground Lovers, and other experimental plays
• Going...Going...Gone! The Client Dies Twice: Three Plays (Black Apollo Press, ISBN 1-900355-21-3)
• The River Underground: Selected Poems & Prose

Some of his work is present in Julio Cortázar's 1963 novel Rayuela (Hopscotch). Tardieu's work is included in Chapter 152, entitled "The Abuse of Consciousness".

The French composer Germaine Tailleferre of Les Six, who was a harp student of Tardieu's mother Caroline Luigini and who first met Tardieu as a child, set several of Tardieu's poems to music notably in the "Concerto des Vaines Paroles" for Baritone Voice, Piano and Orchestra and in the cycle "Trois Poèmes de Jean Tardieu" for Voice and Piano.

He was a great friend of Jean René Bazaine who turned his poem L'Ombre, la branche into a fine illustrated art book.( Maeght Éditeur, 1977: 150 ex. with 16 colored litho's, 50 ex. with three added litho's.)

Jean Tardieu, né le 1er novembre 1903 à Saint-Germain-de-Joux, dans l'Ain et mort le 27 janvier 1995 à Créteil, dans le Val-de-Marne, est un écrivain et poète français, inventeur extrêmement fécond, qui s'est essayé à produire dans tous les genres et tous les tons : humoriste aussi bien que métaphysicien, dramaturge et poète lyrique ou formaliste, il a déployé en plus de soixante ans une créativité exceptionnelle, faisant alterner une poétique classique avec le vers libre ou les tentatives audacieuses de l'écriture informelle. Avec une inquiétude métaphysique dissimulée sous l'humour, Jean Tardieu n'a cessé de se « demander sans fin comment on peut écrire quelque chose qui ait un sens ».
