193455114Paris-Publications 1934. Softcover. Previous owner’s signature inside front cover. As is nearly always the case with this book the plastic or Bakelite rings that once held the book together are lacking having apparently broken they must have been quite fragile and so the covers and the pages are entirely disbound.<br /> However this copy differs from most others in being more complete: it has 2 pages of text and 46 pages of images. Most copies have either 38 or 44 pages of images. This is said to be the result of censorship; since the pages are unnumbered and there is no list of the images the removal of one or more leaves would not be noticeable. Or it may be the result of there not having been an equal number of good copies of each leaf when the book was assembled.<br /> In any case this is except for the binding rings the most complete and probably earliest state of this scarce volume.<br /> Some remnants of celotape on the covers probably from an attempt to compensate for the missing binding rings. Credit to Brassia inside back cover and price 40 francs on back cover. . 48p. Paris-Publications, [ paperback

19344065<p>Paris: Editions Atelier de Paris 1934 Quarto 24x16.2 cm. wrappers 385 iipp. The first edition of a major biography of Endre Ady 1877-1919 with many illlustrations. The contemporary photos of Paris are by André Kertész commissioned by the author of this biography and a devoted aficionado of Ady himself. Kertész also designed the book. Includes the famous Kertész photo of Ady's favorite café table. Most of the earlier photos are by Aladár Székely 1870-1940 also a close friend of Ady's noted for his early 20th century portraits. Hungarian text throughout. As for the subject Ady was the poet who gave birth to a 20th-century voice for Hungarian identity and exerted an overwhelming influence on Hungarian letters up to WWI. He was born into a Transylvanian Calvinist town and family and tormented througout life by an uninhibited passion for sensual experience and freedom against a strict conscience and authority. At the same time he was committed to profoundly infusing Hungarian life and culture with a modernist temperament critical thinking and social reform and bringing the country into a broader international integration with world culture. These together formed the cauldron of his creative ferment. The book abounds with photostats of Ady's handwritten poems historical photos and documents. Bölöni was a close friend of Ady's for many of the poet's later years and recipient to a number of the poet's dedications. This copy ex-coll.

14264Brassai Gyula Halász major 20th century photographer known for his provocative images of a nocturnal Paris. Typed letter Signed "Brassai" in French on Brassai's personal stationary. 11-3/4" x 8-1/4" inches. Paris September 9 1976. The great photographer writes on the release of his new photography book "The Secret Paris of the Thirties" and his upcoming show at the Marlborough Gallery.<br/><br/>Brassai writes in this letter on the publication of his new book. "My book the Secret Paris of the Thirties Pantheon Books - is due out at the same time." This book was in many ways the culmination of Brassai's vision of Paris begun by his 1933 classic photography book 'Paris de Nuit' 1933 which today is considered today to be one of the most important books on 20th century photography. Its widespread critical acclaim garnered Brassai with the nickname "the eye of Paris" originally coined by Henry Miller. However it was not complete as many pictures from his original series were excluded for being too risqué. Brassai's 1976 publication of "The Secret Paris of the 30s" finally allowed the great photographer to complete his vision of the 1930s Paris underworld. His subjects included bars dives night-clubs one-night hotels bordellos and opium dens. He was known to enter rundown buildings and houses in the middle of the night shock and frighten the occupants just to see what view of Paris he might encounter through their open window. The photos in the book were accompanied by text in which Brassai described the extraordinary conditions under which he took his photographs. "I was inspired to become a photographer by my desire to translate all things that enchanted me in the nocturnal Paris I was experiencing." The Secret Paris of the 30's 1976<br/><br/>Brassai writes "As it happens I turned 77 today 9.9.1899. This short note is just to let you know we will be in New York from the 12th to the 28th of September because I want to attend the opening of my show at the Marlbororough Gallery." The exhibition at New York's Marlborough gallery was held in conjunction with the publication of his book "The Secret Paris of the Thirties" which is also mentioned in this letter. It was clearly an important event for Brassai who had waited over 40 years to see his complete and unredacted vision of Paris nightlife revealed to the public. The photos of this exhibit which are the same as the photos published in his book represent the peak of Brassai's creative output during the years 1931-1932 at the beginning of his career and over 40 years before their eventual publication. Many of the photographs were new in the sense that they had not been published prior to this book or publicly exhibited prior to the Marlborough exhibition. Included were powerful images such as his 'Bijou of Montmartre.' <br/><br/>Brassai has signed this letter in large bold purple marker "Brassai" with an underline. He has also added a handwritten postscript in large green marker "venir nous soutenir" which translates "come support us." A content rich letter discussing one of Brassai's most important publications as well as its corresponding exhibition. Folded twice through the center. In excellent condition with a large bold and colorful signature. unknown books
