193488369Paris: Gallimard 1934. First French Edition. Octavo. 19cm. Publisher's cream colored card wraps titled in black and red to spine and front cover. Glassine dustjacket. 251pp.;1. Strong and tight a little soiling and marginal wear to the wraps and some staining and discoloration to the glassine jacket; internally clean ownership signatures of Monique Fong and Michel Tavriger to the front flyleaf dated 1949 and 1950 numerous collage additions to the text throughout. A very good copy with some fascinating artistic additions from the early surrealist movement.<br /> <br /> From the library of Nathaniel Tarn noted poet translator and anthropologist who during the period 1945-1950 was resident in Paris living and working under the name Michel Tavriger before adopting the name Nathaniel Tarn Tarn being the name of a French river. He was intimate with a large swath of Parisian artistic intelligentsia including Breton Octavio Paz photographer Serge Jacques and surrealist muse and intellectual powerhouse Monique Fong. In all probability he was most likely also a member of the surrealist ex-Vichy collaborationist "Cercle D'Etudes Metaphysiques" presided over by Raymond Abellio Bernard Noel Raymond De Becker and the like who numbered Cocteau and Jean Paulhan among their friends and contributors. Improvised collage is a factor of several branches of Fong's correspondence with friends like John Cage so it is most probably that the photographic collage elements inserted into the volume are the work of Fong. They are mostly black and white clippings from fashion or art magazines mostly occupied with nudes with several pages devoted simply to naked breasts they range in complexity from a simple uneven clipping to a rather more complex arrangement of vertically sliced elements arranged together covering a whole page to the rear of the volume. <br /> <br /> Fong stated in an interview before her death: "I'm a very rare person at this point. Not because I'm 95 but because I think there are only three people left in this world who have known both Breton and Octavio Paz. I was a member of the Surrealist group as was Nathaniel Tarn - under another name at the time - when we were 23 24 something like that. And all of our contemporaries died before the age of 70 which is really not old. There are very few survivors. If you knew Octavio Paz you did not necessarily live in France. People knew him in Mexico in India in the States. I'm pretty sure that the only people to know both Paz and Breton are at this point Jean-Clarence Lambert Nathaniel Tarn and me." https://caesuramag.org/posts/interview-with-monique-fong-surrealism.

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

19362345Paris: Jeanne Bucher 1936. First edition. Original wrappers. Very Good. FIRST EDITION THE PRINTER JACQUES GROU-RADENEZ'S COPY WITH TWO LONG PERSONAL INSCRIPTIONS BY HUGNET. WITH COVER MY MARCEL DUCHAMP. ONE OF ONLY 294 COPIES IN THE EDITION; AN OUT-OF-SERIES COPY LABELED "EXEMPLAIRE NO. G.H.". "This is Georges Hugnet's first volume of 'poemes-decoupages.' The title echoes Andre Mallarme's Un Coup de Des N'Abolira Jamais le hazard 1895 and Hugnet's poems printed on the left-hand pages of the book mirror the unusual spacing and various typefaces and sizes of Un Coup de Des. Hugnet had joined the Surrealists by 1932 and the collages on the right-hand pages centered around nude images cut out of Paris Magazine rehearse typical Surrealist themes. The cover by Marcel Duchamp spells out the title in letters containing the names of a whole Surrealist pantheon including Sade Freud Rimbaud Paracelsus Swift Heraclitus Roussel Chaplin Jarry Uccello and Saint-Juste and also a Man Ray photograph of DuChamp's assisted readymade 'Why Not Sneeze Rrose Sélavy' consisting of 152 marble cubes the size of sugar cubes a thermometer and a cuttlebone inside a small cage" Roth 101 p.92.<br /> <br /> An extraordinary association copy signed and inscribed twice by Hugnet:<br /> <br /> On the half-title Hugnet has written a warm inscription dated 1936 the year of publication thanking Grou-Radenez for his work on the book. Beneath that in 1963 he added an additional inscription to the new owner of the book the surrealist photographer Leo Dohmen praising Grou-Radenez who had been arrested and murdered by the Nazi's for hiding Jewish children and aiding the French Resistance. <br /> <br /> Paris: Editions Jeanne Bucher 1936.
