[SURREALISM] BRETON, Andre (ed)Biblio.com

La Brêche: Action Surréaliste complete run of 8 issues

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. 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

[SURREALISM; DADAISM]. ROCHE, JULIETTEBiblio.com

La Minéralisation de Dudley Craving Mac'Adam

19242729Paris: Imprimerie Croutzet et Depost 1924. First edition. Original wrappers. Very Good. FIRST EDITION of Roche's surreal dadaist roman à clef exposing the misogynistic world of the French avant-garde. With annotations likely in Roche's hand. Like too many women artists of the early twentieth century French writer and artist Juliette Roche 1884 - 1980 has been long overshadowed by her male contemporaries. Roche came of age amidst leading artistic and literary salons of early 20th century Paris. She studied at Académie Ranson then considered the absolute best art school in Paris and was an early adopter of Cubism. However she is most closely associated with Dadaism. Despite Dada being a movement of absolute rebellion it harbored the normalized misogyny of the early twentieth century. Roche's most explicit critique of this discrepancy of rebellion vs repression can be found in La Minéralisation de Dudley Craving Mac Adam her groundbreaking novella. Part satire and part Dada nonsense the thinly veiled roman à clef is a prime example of the daring poetic style that Roche developed while living in New York during World War I. Having watched artistic vanguards come and go in Paris' salons and exhibitions Roche observed the New York City hijinks of Francis Picabia French 1879 - 1953 and Marcel Duchamp 1887 - 1968 with a level of detachment that alluded their American peers. She had close access to Picabia perhaps too close: in 1917 he and his wife Gabrielle Buffet-Picabia moved into an apartment directly beneath one Roche shared with her husband Albert Gleizes a French artist and philosopher who helped popularize Cubism on the Upper West Side. While Roche admired Picabia's iconoclasm she was disturbed by the misogyny she saw in works like his manometres where woman as 'la machine' was at best a manipulable object at worst the butt of a private joke. If taking Roche's ambivalence towards and her neighborly proximity to Picabia into consideration the novella could be inspired in part by an age-old story: pure contempt of one's neighbor. The novella is an indirect indictment of certain illicit behaviors Roche found annoying and dangerous. She synthesizes her fellow expatriates' personalities and physical traits to create the decadent Mac'Adam and the men he encounters on the day of his demise. Picabia becomes Mac'Adam. Swiss writer and boxer Arthur Craven 1887 - 1918 lends his name to the protagonist while becoming Lloyd Willow. Juliette Roche herself appears as Juliette Granite a play on words since roche means rock in French. Roche spins the narrative in poetic and surreal fragments at turns absurd and others told in a stream-of-consciousness style. La Minéralisation moves beyond conventional storytelling to allow readers into the minds of her characters through rich interior monologues revealing in each case her estimation of the particular model's idiosyncrasies. Roche seemed to find the antics of the all-male world of the Dadaists to be too limited and they're wickedly satirized among these pages. Written in ink on the first page is "Publié dans 'La Vie des Lettres' en 1921 / New York 1918" and there are a few words written on page 20 in the same hand. It appears to be Roche's handwriting from the few samples we've seen but we can't guarantee it. Paris: Imprimerie Croutzet et Depost 1924. Thin octavo 33pp terminal blank original printed wrappers stapled as issued; custom box. Small tear and split at top of spine; a near-fine extremely well-preserved copy. EXCEEDINGLY RARE: We can find records of no other copies that have been on the market. References: Burke Carolyn "Recollecting Dada: Juliette Roche."

Point Du Jour

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. 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. 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.
