Biography
Bravig Imbs was born in 1904 in Milwaukee to Norwegian-American parents. A graduate of Dartmouth College,[1] he worked as a newspaper reporter, and music critic and, according to some, a proofreader for the 'International Edition of the Chicago Tribune in Paris.[2]
In Paris he befriended George Antheil, Pavel Tchelitchew, René Crevel, Georges Maratier, and later Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas.[2] [3] In 1931, his wife Valeska gave birth to a child, Jane Maria Louise, and Gertrude Stein ended their friendship because of her aversion to childbirth.[2][4]
He wrote novels, poems and a memoir, and played the harpsichord.[5][6] He translated some poems by Georges Hugnet.[7] He also co-wrote books with Bernard Fay and André Breton. He chronicled his life in Paris in the 1920s in his Confessions of Another Young Man, published in 1936.[8]
In 1944, he worked as a radio announcer, under the pseudonym of 'Monsieur Bobby'.[3] He worked for the US State Department as a radio announcer for the O.I.C. in France after the war. He died there in a jeep accident travelling on official business near Livron-sur-Drome, on May 29, 1946, and was interred in a US military cemetery in Draguignan, France.[9][10][11][12]
