White cloth with white glossy color-illustrated dustjackets contained in a red cloth slipcase. 2 Volumes. vi 356; iv 366 pp. "The reader will discover Matisse watercolorist draftsman ceramist and the architect-- and unquestionably one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century."--Amazon. A wonderful and exhaustive novel of Henri Matisse by Louis Aragon profusely illustrated throughout with art by Matisse. Translated from the original French by Jean Stewart. With 155 color illustrations and a vast profusion of black and white illustrations throughout several folding over 500 in all. From jacket: A huge fascinating look at Matisse and his creative process by Aragon one of France's foremost poets covering the twenty-seven years of their acquaintance. Profusely illustrated with photographs of the artist and his models paintings and drawings these 2 thick volumes are both a visual and literary treat. "It took Aragon close to twenty-seven years to put this book together. He assembled here all that he had ever written on Matisse adding to it elaborating on it providing his glosses letting memory do its creative work shaping his material into what it pleases him to call 'a novel' and allowing himself numerous digressions. In spite of his elliptical ways however the subject 'Matisse' is overwhelmingly present most obviously through the illustrations carefully keyed into the text following Aragon's layout instructions and admirably illuminating it but no less through Matisse's own words which Aragon records with scrupulous fidelity. What he has arrived at is a dialogue between writer and painter unique in writings on artists and art and uniquely revealing of the creative process." Harcourt Brace Jovanovich hardcover books

192728456Paris: Editions Surrealistes. 1927. First Edition; First Printing. Softcover. Wraps a fair to good copy with a ¾ " horizontal tear at the center of the spine affecting all pages and wraps the latter separated at spine or nearly so. The context of this pamphlet is that the five surrealists above applied for membership of the French Communist Party. Without going into detail we can say that this attempt to work together--where the surrealists tried harder than the Communists to make the collaboration a success--it was not a success.A series of such attempts would follow over the years but this was the first of its kind. In early 1926 the collaboration was coming apart.After defending the surrealists' independence in Legitime Defense Breton Aragon Eluard Peret and Unik published this series of open letters. Most were signed in holograph facsimile. The first was to Belgian surrealists Paul Nouge and Camille Goemans who already found the Communist Party's notion of Surrealism to be seriously incorrect; the second was to Marcel Fourrier of the French Communist Party organ Clarte who tried to bring together the surrealists and the Clarte; the third letter was to non-communist surrealists reminding them not to pretend that their anarchic principles made them politically equivalent to those surrealists who actually sign up to join the Party; the fourth letter was to Pierre Naville whose qualities were recognized but whose exact position was hard to determine. The fifth letter was to the French CP noting that the surrealists did not apply to the Party as surrealists; that the right to criticize must be respected in a revolutionary party; and that the surrealists should not be assigned political tasks that were beyond their area of competence. Throughout the years from 1925 to 1927 it was clear that many members of the Clarte group were totally against the surrealists and they never changed their opinion that the surerealists were not serious weere dilettantes and more. ; 16mo 6" - 7" tall; 28 pp .
