29081Paris circa 1950. 1 tirage sur carte d'après-guerre signé « Man Ray » à la mine de plombe en angle inférieur droit. . L'épreuve est signée Man Ray à la mine de plomb en angle inférieur droit et contient au dos la mention de la main de Char « René Crevel ». Ce tirage constitue l'un de ceux que Man Ray a fourni dans les années 50-60 à ses amis proches. Un tirage figurait dans la vente Breton 2003 n° 5106 identique à celui-ci – sans être signé. C'est la seule épreuve signée connue : ce tirage constitue l'un de ceux que Man Ray a fourni dans les années 1950-1960 à ses amis proches. Un tirage figurait dans la vente Breton 2003 n° 5106 identique à celui-ci - mais non signé. Notre épreuve est celle de René Char avec une note au verso de la main du poète. Le suicide de Crevel le frappa douloureusement. Des années plus tard il avouera : « Je n'ai pu depuis la mort de ce frère précieux relire un seul de ses ouvrages. C'est dire combien je m'ennuie de lui de l'éclat de sa présence des conquêtes de sa pensée dont il était prodigue. C'est l'homme parmi ceux que j'ai connus qui donnait le mieux et le plus vite l'or de sa nature. Il ne partageait pas il donnait. » Toutes les autres épreuves recensées de ce portrait iconique sont vierges de la signature de Man Ray et souvent dans des tirages tardifs réalisés par Gassman. Lorsque Pierre Paraf le directeur de La République rend hommage à René Crevel dont le suicide vient d'être découvert il évoque un artiste « dont les généreuses indignations étaient servies par un âpre talent satirique ». L'écrivain et poète surréaliste de la première heure mais exclu du mouvement en 1935 et membre critique du Parti communiste depuis 1922 s'est donné la mort à son domicile ne laissant qu'une note pour sa maîtresse la comtesse argentine Tota Cuevas de Vera : « Prière de m'incinérer. Dégoût. » Peut-être celui d'une France bourgeoise et parlementaire de la IIIe République qu'il méprisait l'une et l'autre telle qu'il la décrivait avant sa mort dans les colonnes de Comoedia : « Vice en pantoufle adultères rondouillards mesquinerie lésine sourire faussement bonhomme au fond positivisme insensible jusqu'à la minute catastrophique où alors la terreur pousse les esprits soi-disant libres à remettre Dieu à la mode à s'en tirer par une assurance sur la vie et sur la mort. Tous ces symptômes d'ailleurs accusent une maladie qui pour être celle de la Troisième République ne date point d'hier. » René Crevel consacre un article à Man Ray dès 1925 qu'il présente comme l'auteur d'une chasse miraculeuse et comme un sorcier un « chasseur du mystère » Crevel « Le Miroir aux objets » L'Art vivant n° 14 15 août 1925. Man Ray tire ce portait sept ans plus tard. Il sera utilisé bien plus tard pour la couverture de la biographie de Michel Carassou et également par Claude Courtot pour le frontispice de son René Crevel aux « Poètes d'aujourd'hui » chez Seghers 1969 une image dont Marie Laurencin témoigna de son extraordinaire justesse avec ses « cheveux jamais pareils et son visage changeant d'adolescent rieur et malheureux ». Jean-Claude Vrain dans son catalogue de Portraits d'écrivains datait ce portrait de 1932 : « Ce très beau portrait tranche avec la plupart des photographies de René Crevel que nous possédons. L'écrivain y fait moins dandy sa mise est moins élégante. Il apparaît ici sous un aspect beaucoup plus ‘terrien' en bras de chemise le col déboutonné. Son visage moins angélique que d'habitude mais toujours d'un aspect poupin exprime une détermination et une force que l'on retrouve dans certains de ses textes les plus virulents comme Le Clavecin de Diderot » n° 307 du catalogue. La version proposée non signée était également un tirage tardif des années 1970 par Pierre Gassman. Le Centre Pompidou conserve le négatif de la photo qui a servi à ce recadrage sous la cote AM 1995-281 524.

Man Ray born Emmanuel Radnitzky 1890-1976 American painter photographer and conceptual artist active in France a leading light of the Dada and Surrealist movement. Jess McKinley's obituary in the New York Times offers a brilliant look back at Goodman's career: 'In an era when movies like 'Sweet Smell of Success' made Broadway seem like the most glamorous and gritty terrain in entertainment Mr. Goodman was as reliable a presence as broken hearts and dreams come true. From 1939 when he started his career to 1961 Mr. Goodman represented more than 50 Broadway productions including eight shows in 1960 alone. Over the years Mr. Goodman would act as a booster and sometimes as a baby sitter for every type of show person and show personality from the volatile genius Jerome Robbins of 'Gypsy' to the delicate ingénue Audrey Hepburn in 'Gigi' in 1951 to the predictably haunted playwrights William Inge and Clifford Odets among others. Summing up his career in his unpublished memoir Mr. Goodman started with an adage about the publicity game: 'You don't get paid for the work you do; you get paid for the grief you take.' Mr. Goodman seemed to believe that but only to a point. 'Still and all' he wrote 'there's worse ways to make a living'.'B/w Illustrations. Atlantic Monthly / Little Brown hardcover
