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.

1976142641976. Brassaï Gyula Halász. Letter discussing the publication of The Secret Paris of the Thirties written by the Hungarian born photographer whose images of Paris nightlife helped define twentieth century documentary photography. Brassaï gained international recognition through his photographs of nocturnal Paris produced during the early 1930s images that documented the city's bars cabarets streets and marginalized social spaces with unusual candor and atmospheric lighting. His 1933 book Paris de Nuit established his reputation and led writer Henry Miller to describe him as "the eye of Paris." This 1976 letter was written during the release of The Secret Paris of the Thirties a publication that expanded the photographic record of Parisian nightlife by presenting images from the same early period that had remained unpublished or excluded from earlier editions.<br /> <br /> Brassaï Gyula Halász. Typed Letter Signed "Brassai". Paris September 9 1976. One page on personal stationery measuring approximately 11 3/4 x 8 1/4 inches. Writing in French Brassaï discusses the simultaneous publication of his new photography book and his upcoming exhibition in New York. In the letter he notes: "My book the Secret Paris of the Thirties Pantheon Books is due out at the same time." He continues by mentioning travel plans connected with the exhibition writing that he will be in New York from September 12 to September 28 in order to attend the opening of his show at the Marlborough Gallery. Brassaï also remarks on the date of the letter noting that it coincides with his seventy seventh birthday. The letter is signed in large purple marker "Brassai" with an underline and includes a handwritten postscript in green marker reading "venir nous soutenir" translated as "come support us."<br /> <br /> The Secret Paris of the Thirties published in 1976 more than four decades after the photographs were first taken completed Brassaï's long project of documenting the hidden nightlife of interwar Paris. Many of the photographs originated from the same period as those reproduced in Paris de Nuit but had remained unpublished because they were considered too provocative for earlier editions. The images depict bars nightclubs one night hotels bordellos and other locations associated with the city's nocturnal culture. Brassaï later wrote of his motivation for photographing the city at night: "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 Marlborough Gallery exhibition in New York was organized in conjunction with the publication of the book and introduced many of these photographs to a wider audience for the first time. Folded twice through the center as mailed; otherwise clean and well preserved. Overall very good condition. A content rich letter documenting the publication and exhibition history of one of Brassaï's most significant photographic projects. unknown
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. Dezsö Baróti 1911-1994 noted Hungarian literary historian dated Paris marc. 17 1939.</p> Paris: Editions Atelier de Paris paperback
