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
002510Paris: Paris-Publications This is a near fine copy of the rarest of Brassai's books which has been bound into a hardcover binding from the period in handsome red and black marbled paper-covered boards and a linen cloth spine with red leather label gilt title. The original binding of this book was a spiral plastic ring type. The spiral binding was taken off and the book with its original red-orange covers with the title printed in large white letters was bound in whole. Covers are bright and clean in very good condition small closed tear to bottom corner of back cover inside completely clean. There is no date on the colophon page inside back cover and there apparently were two editions. The first edition was published in 1930 but Brassai was reportedly unhappy with the selection of images and because he was not credited. In our copy he is credited as the photographer and so we assume this is the second edition from ca.1934. It is unpaginated. There are 40 pages with 38 black and white photographs of ladies of the night strippers models night clubs and balls like the Bal Tabarin shots of tough streetwalkers in Les Halles many shots of men and women in costume sometimes drag also a lesbian couple in a club "strictement Feminine" shots of lovers in parks on streets playful shots of men looking into a lingerie shop window with elaborately garbed mannequins at night 1 shot of Kiki in a Montparnasse night club an amazing shot in " La Cage a Femmes d'un Grand Music-Hall Parisien" which shows a cage or pit viewed from above with women on stools like lions in various states of undress and performing "acrobatic" feats. Finally tipped in at the very end on the collophon page a half-page size shot in color of a nude woman in profile we assume not by Brassai. Large 4to 11" high X 8" wide. The original book was not cut down when re-bound it is in its' intended size and because of the re-binding it has been kept in near fine condition. A beautiful copy of a true rarity. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and shipped with tracking. Hard Cover. Near Fine. Paris-Publications Hardcover

Presumed second issue of Brassai's first book disavowed due to contractual conflicts. Thin quarto spiral-bound. With 38 photographs of Parisian nightlife that while chaste now were deemed to racy for inclusion in "Paris de Nuit". SIGNED by Brassai and inscribed to publisher Nicholas Callaway: "Pour Nicholas / Callaway / un livre / à hion insu / bien amicalement / le 3 mai 1981. Brassai." Very uncommon signed.

Provenance: Estate of Jean Leymarie. Èze 22 octobre 1966 : "Je suppose que vous avez lu dans Figaro Littéraire . le texte en question sur Picasso. Malheureusement la plupart des passages vous concernant-je l'ai donné tel que vous l'avez lu - ont été coupés par la rédaction et notamment celui où vous racontez si bien votre émerveillement devant les chefs d'oeuvre en plein air de la cour du château.".Le Figaro le 05/12/2016: Toutes témoignent des liens d'amitiés privilégiés que Jean Leymarie 1919-2006 disparu en 2006 entretint avec les artistes de par ses fonctions au sein de nombreuses institutions. Devenu plus jeune conservateur de musée de France à l'âge de 31 ans en prenant la direction du musée de Grenoble Jean Leymarie entama une brillante carrière dans le milieu de l'Art. Succédant à Bernard Dorival il rejoignit la tête du musée d'art moderne de la ville de Paris en 1969 avant de devenir directeur des études à l'école du Louvre puis de succéder à Balthus en 1978 comme directeur de l'Académie de France à Rome.Tout au long de sa carrière il organisa de prestigieuses expositions telle en 1966 l'«Hommage à Picasso» présenté au Grand et au Petit Palais à Paris et il rédigea de nombreuses monographies d'artistes parmi lesquels Balthus Picasso Van Gogh Braque Gauguin ou Zao Wou-Ki rencontré quelques années à son arrivée en France. Professionnel talentueux mais aussi homme sensible Jean Leymarie fut proche de Miró fréquenté en Espagne et dans le sud de la France mais aussi de Calder qui le recevait avec sa femme Marie-Paule chez lui à Saché en Touraine.
