563842Paris 1980. Unbound. Near Fine. Gelatin silver photograph. Image measuring 9½" x 6½" on 10" x 8" paper. Four small pieces of tape residue on the verso moderate creasing very good or better. Captioned on the back presumably in the photographer's hand: "Samuel Beckett December 1980 / Photo by Herbert Mitgang" followed by a New York City address. Mitgang was a columnist and book critic for The New York Times. On January 25 1981 Mitgang published a piece in The New York Times Book Review titled "Beckett in Paris"; the piece ends thusly: "As we walked outside I suggested to Beckett that his photographs always made him appear too somber and asked if he would allow me to take a few pictures. Relaxed he stood in front of a street sign that read: 'SORTIE de SECOUR - ne pas encombrer' Emergency Exit - do not block. Beckett weighed the words aloud. 'That's appropriate' he said with a smile." A heavily cropped version of the portrait showing only six letters of the sign appears in the article making this print all the more interesting. unknown

'Modern Times' was a French journal founded by Simone de Beauvoir Jean-Paul Sartre and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Its first issue was published in October 1945. It was named after the 1936 film by Charlie Chaplin. Les Temps Modernes filled the void left by the disappearance of the most important pre-war literary magazine La Nouvelle Revue Française The New French Review considered to be André Gide's magazine which was shut down by the authorities after the liberation of France because of its collaboration with the occupation. Les Temps Modernes was first published by Gallimard and was last published by Gallimard. In between the magazine changed hands three times: Julliard January 1949 to September 1965 Presses d'aujourd'hui October 1964 to March 1985 Gallimard from April 1985. Les Temps Modernes ceased publication in 2019 after 74 years. The first editorial board consisted of Sartre director Raymond Aron Simone de Beauvoir Michel Leiris Maurice Merleau-Ponty Albert Ollivier and Jean Paulhan. All published many articles for the magazine. Sartre's contributions included "La nationalisation de la littérature" "The Nationalisation of Literature" "Matérialisme et révolution" "Materialism and Revolution" and "Qu'est-ce-que la littérature" "What is Literature". Simone de Beauvoir first published Le Deuxième Sexe "The Second Sex" in Les Temps Modernes. In the preface to the first edition Sartre stated the review's purpose: to publish littérature engagée. This philosophy of literature expresses a basic creed of existentialismthat an individual is responsible for making conscious decisions to commit socially useful acts. Thus literature in the magazine would have a utilitarian component; it would not be just culturally valuable "art for art's sake". Other intellectuals such as André Gide André Breton and Louis Aragon disapproved of this orientation. Sartre's response: "Le monde peut fort bien se passer de la littérature. Mais il peut se passer de l'homme encore mieux." "The world can easily get along without literature. But it can get along even more easily without man." The works of many writers appeared in Les Temps Modernes. They include Richard Wright Jean Genet Nathalie Sarraute Boris Vian and Samuel Beckett. Political divisions between board members soon surfaced. Raymond Aron quit in 1945 because of the magazine's Communist sympathies becoming an editor at Le Figaro. At the time of the Korean War of 19501953 Merleau-Ponty resigned. Originally more supportive of Communism than Sartre he moved progressively to the right as Sartre moved to the left. At the time Sartre still endorsed Communism in his writings but in private expressed his reservations. Sartre disapproved of Camus for seeing both sides in the Algerians' rebellion against their French colonial masters The Algerian War195462. In his bitterness against Camus Sartre selected Francis Jeanson who did not like the works of Camus to review the Camus essay L'Homme Révolté The Rebel. When Camus responded to the review with hurt feelings Sartre put the final blow to a friendship that had lasted for years. He said "Vous êtes devenu la proie d'une morne démesure qui masque vos difficultés intérieures. . Tôt ou tard quelqu'un vous l'eût dit autant que ce soit moi." "You have become the victim of an excessive sullenness that masks your internal problems. . Sooner or later someone would have told you so it might as well be me." Les Temps Modernes enjoyed its greatest influence in the 1960s. At this time it had more than 20000 subscribers. During the Algerian War 19541962 it strongly supported the National Liberation Front the primary group in the ultimately successful battle against the French. It fiercely denounced the extensive use of torture by French forces opposed Charles de Gaulle's government and supported desertion and resistance to conscription. The journal printed testimonies by French soldiers denouncing the war and torture from 1958 to 1962. For this it was censured and its premises seized. From its inception the review has published many special issues. These include Sartre's 1946 description of the United States an attempt to discredit the myths that many of the French held about this country. In 1955 Claude Lanzmann described Sartre's Marxist philosophy in an issue called "La Gauche" "The Left". An issue on "La révolte hongroise" "The Hungarian Rebellion" 195657 denounced Soviet repression. In 1967 at the time of the Six-Day War an issue "Le conflit israélo-arabe" "The Israeli-Arab conflict" contained articles by both Israelis and Arabs. In 1977 North African writers led by Abdelkebir Khatibi published the edition Du Maghreb.10 In 2001 a special edition was devoted to Serge Doubrovsky. Wikipedia paperback
