Published by Allen Van Newkirk later arrested for holding up a Toys-R-Us store in 2005 and who in the 1960s charged the stage during a Kenneth Koch reading firing a pistol loaded with blanks declaring "death to bourgeois poets" the free newspaper of the streets was an important if short lived publication helping to shape the counterculture’s understanding of surrealism’s relationship to contemporary social movements and is perhaps best summed up by the subtitle of this issue taken from the surrealists' open letter in 1925: “Art matters little to us we profoundly hope that revolutions wars and the colonial insurrections will annihilate this Western civilization whose vermin you defend even in the Orient and we call upon this destruction as the least unacceptable state of things for the mind…We assert that we have found treason and whatever else can harm the security of the State more reconcilable with poetry than the sale of ‘large quantities of lard’ to a nation of pigs and dogs."<br /> <br /> Includes poetry and quotes from Ed Dorn LeRoi Jones Surrealists Rimbaud Smohalla Nez Perce tribe Diane Di Prima Sam Abrams Robert Kelly Margaret Randall Victor Hernandez Cruz and others.

Cercle D'Etudes Metaphysiques "Journal Interieur" Nos. 1-8 with the final issue dated Juin-Septembre 1955 being a double issue. <br /> <br /> The very privately printed and distributed output of the short-lived and incendiary "Cercle D'Etudes Metaphysiques" formed in 1953 by the self-styled visionary Raymond Abiello actually a pseudonym of the eclectic and confounding Georges Soulès.<br /> <br /> Soulès was born in Toulouse in 1907 studied at the local Polytechnique and in his early 20's discovered and joined the post-1929 crash youth movement known as "X-Crise" a technocratically inclined group who believed that classical liberalism had failed as a means of socio-economic control and should be replaced with strict economic planning. Members included Soulès Louis Vallon Jules Moch and Alfred Sauvy.<br /> <br /> Their theories and reconstructivist drive have been directly linked to the creation of the collaborationist Vichy government in France during WW2. Sauvy in particular rose to post-war prominence as the Head of the Institute for Demographic Studies the INED and is remembered as the man who coined and popularized the term "Third World" in application to developing non-white nations. Abellio/Soules was among the numerous Vichy/Nazi sympathizers who went into exile in Switzerland to avoid imprisonment.<br /> <br /> Inspired by Gurdjieff the I-Ching Gnostic Mysticism Qabbalism Jungian theory Biblical Gematria early Surrealists and all points in between Abiello formed the Cercle D'Etudes Metaphysiques in 1953 with fellow travellers Jean Largeault and Bernard Noel both of whom feature heavily in the "Journal Interieur" contributing articles and manifestos on diverse subjects such as "Kafka and the Terrible Father" and "The Problem of Homosexuality" in tandem with the openly gay Raymond De Becker's "L'Homosexuel et la Magna Mater". <br /> <br /> Other contributors or collaborators included Jean Cocteau; Irene Tateossian; Raymond De Becker the Belgian journalist and writer who espoused the idea of "Intellectual Collaboration" during the war and edited the Nazi sanctioned newspaper "Le Soir"; Henry Lhong a rather incendiary figure in the Toulouse art scene of the 1950's who founded the aggressively disruptive L'Atelier Gallery and created the "Art Presente" shows in direct conflict with Toulouse's more traditionalist "Art Occitans" and "Artistes Méridionaux" events; Olivier de Carfort who made contributions to the avant-garde journal "Bizarre" alongside Jean Paulhan Eugene Ionesco Rene Magritte and others<br /> <br /> Abellio's C.E.M. seems to have been the industrious loom for a number of interconnecting threads; avant-garde artistic sensibilities crypto-fascist societal reform homosexuality and esoteric and occult researches for the furtherance not necessarily of mankind in general but certainly for those who were found strong and intellectual enough to handle the rigours of enlightenment. Jungian Psychoanalysis is woven in alongside Huserlian philosophy the symbolic incomprehensibility of surrealism knotted in with the arcane complexities of Eastern transcendentalism all laid across a ground preoccupied with one shared belief among all the other whirling beliefs; that art and intellectual thought if not western society in general was in the midst of what Cercle member Henri Lhong described as "La crise metaphysique du siecle" the idea that 20th century humanity had lost its way and must seek deep in the metaphysical and esoteric realm to find it again.<br /> <br /> A dense and as far as can be ascertained substantially complete collection of the main elements of the Cercle's internal publications; necessarily only printed for a small number of members and comprising a combination of newsletter manifesto and conceptual primer of their inner workings. No trace can be found in commerce a couple of references in the art world where the C.E.M. intersected with the mainstream avant-garde and no holdings in institutional libraries except for one 1954 issue of the Journal in the National Library of France.

1952362568Paris: Pour l'Unite 1952. A French election poster from ca. 1951 with a connection to the Surrealists from three printed emblems reading "Bulletin NOIR Les Surealistes." Your cataloger's knowledge of French and French politics after the Second World War is not sufficient to offer an analysis of the poster. One suspects it mostly means the opposite of what it says or that it is a sort of word salad of election-style statements without meaning but draw your own conclusions:<br /> <br /> Pas de paix! Car la voie est ouverte à l'orgueil la cupidité la violence et le mensonge No peace! Because the way is open to pride greed violence and lies.<br /> <br /> Écartez le candidat qui préconise la lutte de classe. L'amour seul est constructif!

199527755<p>Surrealism Breton Andre. Free Rein: Essays. Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press 1995. First Printing of the First US Edition. ISBN: 0803212410. A Near Fine copy faint remainder stamp in a Fine dust jacket. Free Rein is a gathering of seminal essays by André Breton the foremost figure among the French surrealists. Written between 1936 and 1952 they include addresses manifestoes prefaces exhibition pamphlets and theoretical polemical and lyrical essays. Together they display the full span of Breton's preoccupations his abiding faith in the early principles of surrealism and the changing orientations in light of crucial events of those years of the surrealist movement within which he remained the leading force.Having broken decisively with Marxism in the mid-1930s Breton repeatedly addresses the horrors of the Stalinist regime which denounced him during the Moscow trials of 1936. He argues for the autonomy of art and poetry and condemns the subservience to "revolutionary" aims exemplified by socialist realism. Other articles reflect on aesthetic issues cinema music and education and provide detailed meditations on the literary artistic and philosophical topics for which he is best known. Free Rein will prove indispensable for students of Breton surrealism and modern French and European culture. </p> University of Nebraska Press, 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
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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> Paris: Imprimerie Croutzet et Depost 1924.

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.

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
