1966112218Cannes 1966. Unpublished and heavily corrected manuscript of Brassai's account of his visit to Picasso A superb unpublished and heavily corrected manuscript in French in which Brassaï recounts his visit to Picasso a long-standing friend at his home near Cannes. Brassaï who photographed much of Picasso's work in the 1940s had published Conversations with Picasso in 1964 in which he created an intimate portrait of Picasso covering their friendship and artistic collaboration and recording each of their meetings with minute detail. Picasso said of the volume "Read this book if you want to understand me". This account is written in a similar style and during the course of the afternoon Picasso speaks about his nostalgia for his old studios his health his enthusiasm for the recently invented felt-tip pen his opinion of his own writings his relationship with his wife Jacqueline and his views on feminism. Though unmarked as such it is from the collection of Brassaï's close friend and colleague photographer Stefan Lorant who founded Picture Post the pioneering pictorial magazine. Quarto 285 x 233. 20 typed sheets in French rectos only legibly hand-corrected throughout by Brassai in black ink. Housed in a black cloth album with each sheet in a separate clear plastic file.

1933vC1123<p>SIGNED by Paul Morand atop his 8-page preface. Paris: Edition Arts et Métiers Graphiques 1933. First Edition. Spiral bound quarto sixty-four gravure plates. The highest celebrated most iconic of the great Paris photobooks printed in a luscious gravure so tactile "that after handling the book one expects to find sooty deposits all over one's fingers. One should think of it as amongst the best produced and influential photobooks ever" The Photobook Vol. I. Roth 101.

The Paris he shows his "little boxes of night" is tawdry intimate dark and full of mystery as though nighttime were its natural hue. As a young man prefacer Paul Morand bathed in Parisian artistic circles and the high public service. Appointed at the age of 24 attached to the French Embassy in London he began a career at the Quai which took him all over Europe. He entered literature in 1921 with his first prose work Tendres Stocks a collection of short stories prefaced by Marcel Proust. During the 30s he published numerous books travelogues novels short stories; he also practiced journalism notably for Le Figaro. A lovely collectible copy signed by Paul Morand. Book #vC1123. $4850.

Illustrated with 20 photographs including 7 photographs by Man Ray 4 by Brassaï one each by Dora Maar Henri Cartier-Bresson and Rogi André as well as artworks by Max Ernst and the statue of a female character by Giacometti in which the writer saw the very emanation of the desire to love and to be loved in search of its real human object in its painful ignorance. André Breton offers a meditation on love at first sight and passion drawn from his fateful first encounter in 1934 with his future wife Jacqueline Lamba this woman was scandalously beautiful. Recalling the beginnings of their romantic relationship he reflects on chance and embarks on a rereading of their love story detecting all sorts of phantasmagoric signs analysing his experiences and feelings. He concludes with an open letter to their daughter Aube born in December 1935 which ends with these words: I want you to be madly loved. A masterpiece of Surrealist literature both an extension and opposite of Nadja which was published nine years earlier also considered an objectbook in the classic surrealist style interleaved with photographs by Cartier-Bresson Brassaï and Man Ray . It proves its own startling kind of existence in the real world being not just a book not just the record of an extraordinary love that between André Breton and the artist with whom he shared his life but an object inserted madly and really now in our world Mary Ann Caws Translators note Mad Love University of Nebraska Press 1987.
