19358741<p>Number 58 of 1500 copies signed in pencil by Henri Matisse a further 250 copies of the edition were additionally signed by Joyce. This is the first illustrated edition of Ulysses though Matisse chose to supply illustrations of the Calypso episodes of Homer's Odyssey corresponding to the six episodes of the novel as his artist's response to Joyce's text which it is often said he never finished reading. He thus confounded both the publisher George Macy and most of the public on its first publication. The Limited Edition Club edition owes its existence to the lifting of the American ban on the novel in December 1933.</p><p>Large 4to 295 × 225 mm pp. 363 1 6 soft ground etchings on thick paper with a total of 20 reproductions of Matisse's preliminary drawings on yellow and blue paper of different sizes 26 illustrations in all.

1937510540Verve 1937. First Edition. Paperback. FINE. Complete run of the first four issues of Teriade's legendary art magazine. Beginning with a stunning cover produced by Matisse for the first issue Verve would incorporate fresh artwork into its cover designed newly commissioned by artists such as Miro Picasso Chagall and other leading lights of the French art world. Each issue offered spectacular color lithographs printed by the Paris lithographers Mourlot. Early issues came in litho-printed card wrappers in boxes later volumes would be in paper-over board with litho covers. This choce allowed Teriade to feature the fresh lithographic artwork in the cover design but left the books themselves extremely fragile and succeptible to wear. Additionally the full-page lithographs have been continuous targets for art dealers looking to excise the plates. So condition seen here is quite rare with each volume preserved COMPLETE FINE with no signs of the wear and toning so commonly seen. 'The cover of Verve No. 1 is by Henri Matisse; it consists of three unmodulated colors--red blue and black--that the master cut directly from printers' ink specimen books. . Mattisse's cover for the first issue lithographed by Fernand Mourlot printers was an original work of art created expressly for the magazine--as would be practically all of the Verve's covers. . The painter took great pains to make sure that the cover would turn out exactly as he wished. . THe care Matisse lavished on what others might consider a minor undertaking was one of the hallmarks of Teriade's publications. How did he induce the greatest artists of this century to give the very best of themelves . Matisse and Teriade shared a common ideal. For both of them painting was life itself.'

19372884<p>Paris: np 1937. Very Good. POWERFUL IMAGE OF JAMES JOYCE BY SURREALISTIC PHOTOGRAPHER JOSEF BREITENBACH. A remarkable set of circumstances had to come together to this photograph of James Joyce by German born photographer Josef Breitenbach to first exist and then to survive. <br /><br />Throughout the summer of 1937 as he experienced increasingly painful flashes in his right eye Joyce pored over early proofs of Finnegan's Wake then known only as "Work in Progress". Perhaps he was preoccupied with correcting the inevitable and myriad errors in his pun-flecked stream of consciousness prose or perhaps he was overcome with pain but we know from Breitenbach's pocket diary that Joyce canceled four times before the two exiled artists finally met.<br /><br />James Joyce's relationship with Ireland was famously complex and included self imposed exile. He and Nora Barnacle his future wife left Dublin in 1904 for mainland Europe never returning to his homeland after 1912. On the other hand photographer Josef Breitenbach was a Jewish German refugee who fled the rising Nazi's. Both his Jewish background and prior involvement with the short-lived revolution of 1918 made him an early target of the Brownshirts who knocked on his Munich studio door one day in 1932. Thinking on his feet Breitenbach was able to use his portrait of then Vice-Chancellor Papen whom he had photographed the year before together with a letter of thanks from Papen for his work in order to claim that he was under Papen's protection. Seizing the brief vacuum created by his subterfuge Breitenbach immediately packed his bags and within days departed for Paris.<br /><br />Once in Paris Breitenbach mingled with the Surrealists showing in gallery exhibitions alongside Man Ray Henri Cartier-Bresson and Brassai. Over time he developed a reputation for landscapes nudes and photo-journalism. By the time Breitenbach photographed James Joyce in July 1937 he had built a portfolio of portraits of artists such as Max Ernst Emile Bernard and Bertold Brecht. Studio portraits like this print of Joyce were often bathed in a soft seductive glow both flattering and intriguing. Here Joyce sits in profile with clasped hands behind him are blurred rows upon rows of bookshelves. The message is clear: despite failing vision Joyce remained a bright and vibrant writer.<br /><br />Meanwhile history marched on. Two years later in September 1939 Breitenbach was placed with other German and Jewish exiles in a French internment camp. His survival skills still intact he volunteered for a rural labor force that saved him from deportation to a concentration camp. With the help of friends in England and the United States Breitenbach once again fled the Nazi's arriving in New York in June 1941. To his enormous relief his entire oeuvre of photographic prints and negatives including the Joyce pictures had been smuggled out of Paris by another friend and sent to the States by way of Havana.<br /><br />As Breitenbach once again built a life for himself in a new country he turned to his pre-war work. <br />Among the first negatives he developed were those of Joyce - an homage to the writer who had died months before at age 59 in Zurich.<br /><br />Silver gelatin photograph. Taken in 1937; printed later. With "Estate of Josef Breitenbach" stamp on verso. Very faint corner crease only noticeable on verso.

1916172378New York: B. W. Huebsch 1916. To forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race First edition in book form first printing of the author's landmark first novel. The work was serialized in The Egoist between 2 February 1914 and 1 September 1915. British printers were apprehensive to produce a book edition due to the hostile public reaction to the serial and for fear of prosecution under obscenity laws. It was therefore Huebsch of New York who undertook the true first publication in book form issued on 29 December 1916. No more than 750 sets of the American sheets were reserved for British issue by Harriet Shaw Weaver of the Egoist Press in London appearing there the following 22 January 1917. The Egoist Press later produced their own edition the first printed in Britain in 1918. Octavo. Original blue cloth spine lettered in gilt front cover lettered in blind. Brentano's ticket and ink date of 3 December 1917 on rear pastedown. Spine lightly toned bright overall rubbing to edges browning and spot of skinning to endpapers from previous book protector contents clean. A very good copy. Slocum & Cahoon A11. hardcover

TOKLAS. Maria and Eugene Jolas Georges Braque Henri Matisse André Salmon and Tristan Tzara are the respondents. In addition to providing the forum for the serial publication of Joyce's WORK IN PROGRESS TRANSITION records a virtual who's who of the literary innovators of the times with the notable exception of Ezra Pound whose lack of affinity with one of the most frequent contributors may have led him to steer a separate course.

A Fine copy of the book in Near Fine dust jacket. vi 154 pp. Publisher's green cloth over tan blindstamped boards. A touch of foxing to edges and top edge dusty otherwise clean throughout. Dust jacket rubbed and a bit foxed with just a few short tears to the rear panel. Overall a very appealing copy of Joyce's only play.<br /> <br /> Exiles captures the romantic dramas of Richard and Bertha a common-law couple recently returned to their home country of Ireland and the complex dynamics that play out between them Richard's cousin Robert and Robert's wife Beatrice. "The play was not especially popular at the time and is commonly regarded as one of Joyce's weaker works. However much of the initial criticism may have had to do with the play's provocative themes: unconventional relationships jealousy weakened national ties to Ireland and exile. All of these topics resonate with Joyce's personal life making Exiles a partly autobiographical work" James Joyce Foundation. <br /> <br /> After W.B. Yeats refused to stage the play Joyce unsuccessfully attempted to interest theatrical companies throughout England Ireland and the United States. Exiles eventually debuted in German translation in Munich in 1919. Of the premiere Joyce wrote: "Complete fiasco. Row in theatre. Play withdrawn. Author invited but not present.Thank God" Morgan Library. The play was not performed in English until a staging at New York's Neighborhood Playhouse in 1925. <br /> <br /> Slocum & Cahoon 15.
