197527168<p>New York:: Macmillan 1975. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine uinclipped dust jacket. Thirion a French revolutionary was a prominent member of the French avant-garde involved in the Marxist-surrealist movement in Paris after World War I. His fellow "revolutionaries" included the likes of Breton Aragon Dali Miro and Giacometti. Thiron joined the Communist party in 1925 and he joined the surrealist movement in 1928. He was a friend of Louis Aragon and Georges Sadoul and was active with the surrealists between 1928 and 1934. During the Second World War he joined the Gaullist resistance. Thiron's autobiography captures the lost period between the wars and the rise in ideological disputes that followed; it is the journal of one man's devotion and disillusionment when the world was changing in revolutionary ways.</p> Macmillan, hardcover

196189467Paris: Le Terrain Vague 1961-65. Eight octavo digest-size issues. Pictorial wrappers printed in colors; each issue ca. 124-132pp; illus; ads. Gentle rubbing and soil to most issues but in all a complete attractive and perfectly sound run easily Very Good. Text entirely in French. <br /> <br /> Breton's final periodical venture a continuation of sorts of his long succession of Surrealist journals that included La Révolution Surréaliste 1924-1929 Surréalisme au Service de la Revolution 1930-1933 and Minotaure 1933-1939. La Brêche is the definitive journal of late-period Surrealism very much pointing the way towards the movements - Pop Art Situationism Abstract Expressionism etc - that would soon supplant it. The journal ceased publication in November 1965 presumably due to Breton's declining health; he would die in September 1966. Beyond Breton himself who contributes at least one article to every issue the list of contributors to La Brêche is impressive including Radovan Asvic Jean-Claude Barbé Robert Benayoun Alain Joubert J.-F. Revel Pierre Alechinsky Joyce Mansour Annie Lebrun and many others. GERSHMAN p.48. Le Terrain Vague unknown
