196991841Vence: Galerie Alphonse Chave 1969. Fine. ""Without the Signature the Painting Is Worth Nothing"" Galerie Alphonse Chave Vence 1969 20.3 x 25.5 cm En feuilles sous couverture First edition one of 500 copies of this catalogue for the exhibition Les invendables The Unsellables featuring 40 drawings and paintings at the Galerie Alphonse Chave. Illustrated with 5 full-page black lithographs and 6 tipped-in colour plates. In his characteristically provocative style Man Ray opens with a preface mocking collectors' tendency to purchase names on canvas rather than the artworks themselves. Among the pieces selected for this book are several examples from his series of automatic paintings called ""Peintures naturelles "" including the cover created without the use of a brush. Among the other artworks one can find subtle allusions to famous painters: a Déjeuner sur l'herbe a markedly Picassian Centaure disjointed marionette figures Antipolis evoking the compositional language of de Chirico and an Observatoire reminiscent of a Braque still life.

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 370 pages; 320 drawings and photographs. Description: "ocked in enormous bank vaults and largely removed from public scrutiny for more than a decade the little known collection of the Man Ray Trust comprises more than 4000 works by Man Ray. The 320 photographs and drawings selected for this publication are among the rarest of Man Rays works and will be a revelation to even his most devoted admirers. At the core of Man Ray: Trees Flowers Insects Animals is a series of landscape photographs made by Man Ray from the 1920s through the 1950s many of which bear the distinct influence of Eugène Atget. With subjects including castles and ruined buildings street scenes and the objects from which he drew inspiration for other artworks the photographs and drawings in this book represent an intermediary step in Man Rays creative process. The title of the series Trees Flowers Insects Animals was discovered by the editor scrawled across the backside of a photograph and provides a key to this most unusual collection. These photographs function as a subject index to the themes and motifs that Man Ray employed in his better known works. They are on the one hand a record of his travels and observations in Europe and the United States. On the other hand they are the relic of a moment preserved by Man Ray for later use and interpretation." -- with a bonus offer-- . Steidl hardcover

193790937GLM 1937. Fine. GLM 1937 16.2 x 25.2 cm En feuilles ENGLISH DESCRIPTION ON DEMAND Edition originale pour laquelle il n'a pas été tiré de grands papiers. Préface d'André Breton intitulée ""Convulsionnaires"" composée d'aphorismes et imprimée sur papier vélin crème. Illustrée de 12 photographies légendées par Man Ray imprimées sur papier couché jaune paille. Couverture bleu Klein parfaitement conservée sous chemise noire à fenêtre et à un rabat. Exemplaire en superbe état de ce célèbre ""livre de dialogues"" surréaliste de Man Ray préfacé par André Breton.   ""Dans cet ouvrage surréaliste il n’y a donc pas seulement un dialogue surprenant et énigmatique entre les photographies et leurs légendes mais aussi entre les artistes André Breton et Man Ray. . Ce qu’il Man Ray veut c’est créer du chaos psychique et aviver l’imagination du lecteur-spectateur. Dans ce livre de dialogue le photographe apparaît comme une lanterne magique qui accentue l’énigme en l’éclairant."" Wouter Marinissen La lanterne magique: Man Ray et l’éclairage de l’énigme dans La Photographie n’est pas l’art Le magicien-photographe rassemble ici douze chefs-d'oeuvre parmi lesquels figurent de saisissants portraits féminins répondant aux désirs surréalistes de Breton dans la préface dont celui de se transformer en femme : ""Je voudrais pouvoir changer de sexe comme de chemise"". Le Sex-Appeal tout en transparences ""l'une des photographies préférées de Man Ray selon le Musée national d'Art Moderne s'accompagne de visages énigmatiques et glamour Miriam Hopkins et Plein air artistique qui s'oppose à la photographie Vide-air utilitaire représentant l'Empire State Building. Plusieurs clichés naissent de la luminosité même comme son Cahier acheté à un mendiant combinant prise de vue solarisée et photogramme inversé :""Le gros plan sur le carnet dégageant de leur contexte et de toute échelle de mesure les motifs réticulés du papier de la reliure oblige à une autre perception de l'objet : vue au microscope ou nébuleuse lointaine il prend une dimension sur-réelle par le simple fait du cadrage et du grossissement."" Bibliothèque nationale de France. D'autres vues mettant en scène des animaux aux légendes contradictoires et provocantes éveillent le psyché du spectacteur : la chaotique colonie de fourmis intitulée Cerveau bien ordonné l'accouplement de grenouilles par photomontage qui devient Quand la nature fait des machines et la rayographie d'une chauve-souris proclamant même avec arrogance sa nature reproductible et commerciale dans son titre Photographie intégrale et cent pour cent automatique. La série s'achève avec le très surréaliste autoportrait du buste de Man Ray affublé de lunettes-grille intitulé Dans les yeux des autres : ""Cela signifie-t-il que Man Ray considère ce portrait à lunettes comme ce qu'il donne à voir à autrui et qui constitue un double masque puisqu'il est inspiré d'un masque de plâtre et que les yeux sont rendus quasiment invisibles par un accessoire aussi spectaculaire "" Agnès Vinas. Précieux manifeste de Man Ray anticonformiste oscillant entre apologie et dérision dont le titre ironique La Photographie n'est pas l'art introduit l'œuvre d'un artiste qui a contribué à établir la photographie comme un art.   GLM unknown
