Discovered on 27 February 1998 by ODAS at Caussols.
French poet and scriptwriter Jacques Prevert (1900-1977) portrayed love, joy and sorrow in ordinary people's lives, using simple words, humor and tactful parody. Among the gems he left are his poetry (Paroles), chansons (Les Feuilles Mortes and Barbara) and the film Les Enfants du Paradis with Marcel Carné.Naming citation (20030614/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
