Ethnography Documents is remembered above all for Batailles radical ethnographic stance focused on the material and detached from aesthetic criteria and the usual fascination with exoticism. These groundbreaking views foreshadow the Collège de sociologie that Bataille would later found with Michel Leiris Roger Caillois and Jules Moncrot. They are also reflected in the journal through numerous photographs of masks stones and other non-Western artistic creations Siberian Chinese. set alongside modern artworks including drawings by Klee and paintings by Picasso.

At the same time he continued executing expressionist portraits of a wide international circle of friends and associates. These included Gyula Halász Brassai Ivan Goll George Antheil Hungarian émigrés and surrealist poet Robert Desnos who authored this book.

Limited edition number 51 of 150 copies on Arches wove paper signed in red pencil by Miro from an edition of 200 with an additional 20 copies hors commerce; oblong folio 29 x 40 cm; title text and limitation on Arches wove paper 25 lithographs in total 20 colour 5 black and white including wrappers limitation page all bar three double-page; original paper wrappers with first lithograph printed on front spine and back; set of six lithographs in black by or after the same hand one with additions in red ball-point pen in beige paper folder entitled 'documents 1929' housed in publisher's orange cloth covered box with artist's and author's names on spine.<br /> A fine example of the limited edition signed by Miro in red pencil. <br /><br />Both the Spanish artist Joan Miro and the French poet Robert Desnos were prominent figures in the Surrealist movement in Paris where they met in 1925. Miro had long planned to illustrate a book by Desnos but the project was delayed by the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War and subsequently the Second World War in which Desnos was an active member of the French Resistance. He was arrested by the Gestapo in 1944 and sent to several concentration camps including Auschwitz and Buchenwald. Desnos survived the war only to die of typhoid a few weeks after the liberation of the camp where he was held. <br /><br />Nearly thirty years later Desnos' widow approached Miro with the idea of illustrating his works again. In the end they settled on Pénalités de l'enfer ou les nouvelles Hébrides The Penalties of Hell or The New Hebrides Desnos' first work in prose written in Morocco in 1922.<br /> Mourlot 959-90; Cramer 188.
