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. Provenance : René Char [Paris, circa 1950]. 1 tirage sur carte, d'après-guerre, signé « Man Ray » à la mine de plombe en angle inférieur droit. unknown
1934140948952Hartford CT: James Thrall Soby 1934. First Edition. Fine. A superlative example of the first edition first issue of May Ray's first monograph. 104 pp. with frontispiece portrait of Man Ray by Pablo Picasso the original title page and gravure plates after photographs by Man Ray with text in English and French. Bound in publisher's comb-bound pictorial card wraps. Light wear to wraps with faint marginal soiling to contents else Fine unusual in such nice condition and with spirals intact.<p>Initial sales were so dismal that the publisher recalled most copies of the first printing and replaced the title page with two different fictitious ones claiming "second edition" and "deuxieme edition" in efforts to stoke demand. Copies like this one with the original title page are therefore rare. A fantastic copy of this pioneering work. James Thrall Soby unknown
19342198Hartford: James Thrall Soby 1934. First edition. Publisher's plastic comb binding stiff wrappers. Minor vertical crease to front cover light chipping to outer edge. Upper and lower portions of the front cover coming loose from the binding but the cover is still held firmly. Internally clean and bright. Now housed in a custom clamshell box.<br /> <br /> The very rare first issue. As Roth describes the publisher "attempted to generate demand where none existed by suggesting the edition had sold out. After replacing the title pages of these copies- presumably a healthy percentage of the run whose sales had in fact been slow to none- with one stating 'deuxième edition' second edition he returned them for sale. Copies with the original title page are exceedingly rare."<br /> <br /> Man Ray's first monograph with texts in English and French by Duchamp Tzara Eluard Breton and Man Ray himself. Frontispiece portrait of Man Ray by Picasso. Contains 104 heliogravure images. "Part art part illustration the book was meant to be an inventory of his work a kind of grand promotional catalogue. Man Ray's album was a virtuoso presentation of modern European-style photography. Close-up views distorted angles double exposures night photography negative prints rayographs still lifes nudes portraits fashion photographs and even a painting. were reproduced. Intended for an American more than a European audience the album was Man Ray's means of presenting his career to a homeland that had rarely seen his work."

19372467<p>Paris Éditions GLM 1937. MAN RAY. La Photographie n'est pas L'Art. Paris: Éditions GLM 1937. Slim octavo 17 loose leaves in original flexible blue cloth portfolio original black die-cut wrapper. First edition of this landmark treatise with 12 full-page halftones of Man Ray's distinctive photographs 'regarded by some as amongst the greatest of the 20th century' Parr & Badger. Jean Cocteau called him 'the poet of the darkroom.' 'It was with Man Ray's arrival in Paris in the summer of 1921 when Dada was at its height that photographic experimentation temporarily leaderless after the disastrous war took a decisive new direction' Frizot 442. 'Man Ray's work introduced a particular note to Dadaism since he used photography and recognized early on that this medium could reproduce the effects of object-based art in two-dimensional form. Photography was in a position to preserve the ordinary and to unleash surreal effects' Icons of Photography 26. 'Although he incorporated photography into his Dadaist practice much of his photographic activity was given over to conventional portrait and fashion commissions. This rankled with him and 'photography is not an art' was a constant theme in his work. La Photographie n'est pas L'Art is one of the most enigmatic yet advanced of all his books. It can be taken as a summation of his experiments in photography and might be said to be his photographic swansong' Parr & Badger 108-09. With text by André Breton. See Roth 80-81 86-87. Interior and images fine. Only light sunning to cover through aperture in wrapper. A fine copy. Scarce. Bauman quote In a contemporary clam shell box in blue cloth.</p> GLM
