Il est le "talisman du surréalisme". Tel un collage, son talent artistique présente de multiples facettes: il est compositeur, poète, éditeur, photographe, organisateur d'expositions, galeriste, collectionneur et surtout promoteur passionné de l'art. A partir du début des années 20, E.L.T. Mesens joue un rôle actif sur la scène artistique européenne et se lie notamment d'amitié avec Tristan Tzara, Theo van Doesburg et Erik Satie. Il se profile comme une des rares figures du mouvement surréaliste. Mesens, c'est l'homme qui donne à René Magritte sa notoriété internationale et fait découvrir le surréalisme à l'Angleterre. Il s'entoure d'artistes comme Roland Penrose, Lee Miller, Max Ernst, Kurt Schwitters, André Breton, Yves Tanguy et Man Ray. Sa vie est entièrement placée sous le signe de l'imagination et de la poésie. Découvrez l'amour fou dans l'alphabet d'étoiles d'E.L.T. Mesens."" *************************.
