Poet Paul Éluard and composer Francis Poulenc shared a great interest in modern painting, especially the work of Pablo Picasso. This article studies the way in which the friendship and reciprocal admiration between these three artists manifested themselves in intermedial works such as the poetry collection Voir. Poèmes Peintures Dessins (1948) and the song cycle Le Travail du peintre (1957). The creative interaction between painting, poetry and music is analysed in the context of the surrealist ideas formulated by Éluard in Donner à voir (1939).
