198827284<p>New York:: Abbeville Press 1988. First Printing of the First Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. Amid the exuberant chaos of the Paris art scene between the world wars among the jarring factions of Dadaists Surrealists Futurists and miscellaneous others Philadelphia-born Man Ray was universally admired yet - it seemed - stubbornly mysterious. Although he looms large in today's standard art histories as a figure of unmistakable importance few people have seen more than a selection of his remarkable photographs or a handful of his enigmatic "objects". Indeed surprisingly little is known about this extraordinary and innovative creator of paintings collages drawings films aesthetic theory and autobiography - as well as photographs and objects. "Perpetual Motif: The Art of Man Ray" is the first major book on this mysterious and eclectic artist and his work" The Bloomsbury Review. It not only examines all aspects of the artist's production in all its forms but also discusses Man Ray's multifarious connections with the artistic and political radicals of pre-World War I New York the underground avant-garde as well as the haute monde of Paris between the wars and the emigre society of Hollywood after World War 11. Illustrated with nearly 300 of the artist's works in full colour and duotone many published for the first time.</p> Abbeville Press, 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

192148774Paris.: Au Sans Pareil. 1921 12 Janvier. Folio. 277 x 212 mm. Drop-head title and printed text recto and verso in French with typical dada typography manicules and type variation imprint and list of signatories at foot of verso. A very fine example never folded of this scarce iconoclastic and blasphemous dada manifesto an excellent specimen of dada typography.Tzara's 1921 restatement of dada had a very serious purpose: to reinvigorate and revitalise dada. Tzara was to some extent successful and dada continued albeit with the same troubles that prompted the issue of this manifesto. The document is an outstanding example of the typographical caprice and linguistic inventiveness that made dada so intriguing and appealing. The use of various other schools of art Cubism Expressionism Simultaneism Futurism Unanism Neo-Claissicism Ultraism Creationism Vorticism and Imagism to underline dada's point or rather its lack thereof is classic. Tzara's most iconoclastic and blasphemous slogans were taken up by Van Doesburg for his own later dada poster produced in conjunction with Schwitters 'kleine dada soirée': 'DADA EXISTE DEPUIS TOUJOURS / LA SAINTE VUERGE DÉJÀ FUT DADAÎSTE!'This manifesto was truly international as noted at the head of the sheet: 'Les Signataires de ce manifeste habitent la France l'Amérique l'Espagne l'Allemagne l'Italie la Suisse la Belgique etc. mais n'ont aucune nationalité.'The signatories as listed were: 'E. Varèse Tr. Tzara Ph. Soupault Soubeyran J. Rigaut G. Ribemont-Dessaignes M. Ray sic F. Picabia B. Péret C. Pansaers R. Huelsenbeck J. Evola M. Ernst P. Eluard Suz. Duchamp M. Duchamp Crotti G. Cantarelli Marg. Buffet Gab. Buffet A. Breton Baargeld Arp W. C. Aresnberg L. Aragon.''In 1921 Tristan Tzara found himself battling to sustain Dada's declining popularity. Aesthetic political and social differences among the movement's most prominenet members shook Dada at the doundation. In line with Dada's emphasis on easy distribution Tzara created this one-page flyer presenting a condensed more direct iteration of the Dada Manifesto . The text's inconsistent typefaces orientation and size embody the disorientation and randomness at the heart of the Dadaist philosophy.' From the catalogue of the Art Institute of Chicago.'Dada fait ici le choix d'une composition graphique et d'une typographie affranchies des traditions use de termes saugrenus n'ayant aucun lien logique entre eux recourt aux antonymes «oui = non» aux répétitions «jamais jamais jamais» s'autointerroge «Que fait DADA» affirme et se contredit dans le même temps . La mise en page les différentes tailles de caractères et les polices d'écriture confèrent à l'ensemble un rythme singulier fait d'accélérations de ralentissements de pauses autant d'éléments qui construisent un parcours de lecture heurté discontinu à l'issue duquel renaîtra peut-être un «homme nouveau» purgé de tout espèce de culture.'
