Brassai
Voluptes de Paris
Paris-Publications 1934. Softcover. Previous owner’s signature inside front cover. As is nearly always the case with this book the plastic or Bakelite rings that once held the book together are lacking having apparently broken they must have been quite fragile and so the covers and the pages are entirely disbound.<br /> However this copy differs from most others in being more complete: it has 2 pages of text and 46 pages of images. Most copies have either 38 or 44 pages of images. This is said to be the result of censorship; since the pages are unnumbered and there is no list of the images the removal of one or more leaves would not be noticeable. Or it may be the result of there not having been an equal number of good copies of each leaf when the book was assembled.<br /> In any case this is except for the binding rings the most complete and probably earliest state of this scarce volume.<br /> Some remnants of celotape on the covers probably from an attempt to compensate for the missing binding rings. Credit to Brassia inside back cover and price 40 francs on back cover. . 48p. Paris-Publications, [ paperback

Voluptes De Paris
Paris: Paris-Publications This is a near fine copy of the rarest of Brassai's books which has been bound into a hardcover binding from the period in handsome red and black marbled paper-covered boards and a linen cloth spine with red leather label gilt title. The original binding of this book was a spiral plastic ring type. The spiral binding was taken off and the book with its original red-orange covers with the title printed in large white letters was bound in whole. Covers are bright and clean in very good condition small closed tear to bottom corner of back cover inside completely clean. There is no date on the colophon page inside back cover and there apparently were two editions. The first edition was published in 1930 but Brassai was reportedly unhappy with the selection of images and because he was not credited. In our copy he is credited as the photographer and so we assume this is the second edition from ca.1934. It is unpaginated. There are 40 pages with 38 black and white photographs of ladies of the night strippers models night clubs and balls like the Bal Tabarin shots of tough streetwalkers in Les Halles many shots of men and women in costume sometimes drag also a lesbian couple in a club "strictement Feminine" shots of lovers in parks on streets playful shots of men looking into a lingerie shop window with elaborately garbed mannequins at night 1 shot of Kiki in a Montparnasse night club an amazing shot in " La Cage a Femmes d'un Grand Music-Hall Parisien" which shows a cage or pit viewed from above with women on stools like lions in various states of undress and performing "acrobatic" feats. Finally tipped in at the very end on the collophon page a half-page size shot in color of a nude woman in profile we assume not by Brassai. Large 4to 11" high X 8" wide. The original book was not cut down when re-bound it is in its' intended size and because of the re-binding it has been kept in near fine condition. A beautiful copy of a true rarity. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and shipped with tracking. Hard Cover. Near Fine. Paris-Publications Hardcover

Voluptés de Paris Pleasures of Paris
Paris: Paris-Publications 1935. FIRST EDITION THE PRESUMED FIRST ISSUE COMPLETE WITH THE EIGHT SUPPRESSED PLATES AND ORIGINAL SPIRAL BINDING. Original spiral binding. Very Good. FIRST EDITION THE PRESUMED FIRST ISSUE COMPLETE WITH THE EIGHT SUPPRESSED PLATES AND ORIGINAL SPIRAL BINDING. "Brassaï's early photographs concentrated on the nighttime world of Montparnasse a district of Paris then noted for its artists streetwalkers and petty criminals. His pictures were published in a successful book Paris de nuit 1933 which caused a stir because of its sometimes scandalous subject matter. His next book Voluptés de Paris made him internationally famous" Britannica. "Paris by Night was no sooner off the press than Brassaï sold the remaining photographs to the popular magazine Voilà and began another phase of his exploration of the city. In December 1933 he wrote his parents that he was taking the final photographs for his 'Paris intime' Pierre Mac Orlan had agreed to write the preface and publication was scheduled for March. "By October 1935 it was clear that the book had stalled at the publishers. Although Brassaï had received an advance the publisher claimed he was financially unable to bring the book out. When the book finally did emerge from the printer it was entitled Voluptés de Paris and there was no introduction by Mac Orlan. The unsigned preface mimicked a carnival barker's spiel touting the city to the potential reader like a lewd sideshow attraction: 'Paris the paradise of desire the capital of Adventure. Paris where you can find your every fantasy in reality.'. Available by mail order the book would be sent in a plain wrapper." Brassaï was not pleased with the production and distribution of the book and soon disowned it. "However Voluptés de Paris did not entirely escape critical notice. Peter Pollack. judged it among Brassaï's best work 'an invaluable collection of Brassaï's essential pictures'." Marja Warehime Brassai: Images of Culture and the Surrealist Observer. On the two issues: Anne Wilkes Tucker notes in her detailed book Brassaï: The Eye of Paris: "The book is very rare and for unknown reasons two versions exist. One has thirty-eight halftones and the other has forty-six. I have yet to see a copy of the larger edition with the binding intact so perhaps plates were removed to prevent the rings from breaking". This is the only copy we have seen complete with the forty-six photos and original spiral rings. Paris: Paris-Publications 1935. Quarto original orange wrappers original spiral binding; custom box. One leaf neatly detached; neat stars drawn on two leaves not affecting images. A spectacular copy. RARE. Paris-Publications unknown books

Brassai Gyula
Letter from Brassai about his new photography book "The Secret Paris of the Thirties" and his Upcoming Exhibition
Brassai Gyula Halász major 20th century photographer known for his provocative images of a nocturnal Paris. Typed letter Signed "Brassai" in French on Brassai's personal stationary. 11-3/4" x 8-1/4" inches. Paris September 9 1976. The great photographer writes on the release of his new photography book "The Secret Paris of the Thirties" and his upcoming show at the Marlborough Gallery.<br/><br/>Brassai writes in this letter on the publication of his new book. "My book the Secret Paris of the Thirties Pantheon Books - is due out at the same time." This book was in many ways the culmination of Brassai's vision of Paris begun by his 1933 classic photography book 'Paris de Nuit' 1933 which today is considered today to be one of the most important books on 20th century photography. Its widespread critical acclaim garnered Brassai with the nickname "the eye of Paris" originally coined by Henry Miller. However it was not complete as many pictures from his original series were excluded for being too risqué. Brassai's 1976 publication of "The Secret Paris of the 30s" finally allowed the great photographer to complete his vision of the 1930s Paris underworld. His subjects included bars dives night-clubs one-night hotels bordellos and opium dens. He was known to enter rundown buildings and houses in the middle of the night shock and frighten the occupants just to see what view of Paris he might encounter through their open window. The photos in the book were accompanied by text in which Brassai described the extraordinary conditions under which he took his photographs. "I was inspired to become a photographer by my desire to translate all things that enchanted me in the nocturnal Paris I was experiencing." The Secret Paris of the 30's 1976<br/><br/>Brassai writes "As it happens I turned 77 today 9.9.1899. This short note is just to let you know we will be in New York from the 12th to the 28th of September because I want to attend the opening of my show at the Marlbororough Gallery." The exhibition at New York's Marlborough gallery was held in conjunction with the publication of his book "The Secret Paris of the Thirties" which is also mentioned in this letter. It was clearly an important event for Brassai who had waited over 40 years to see his complete and unredacted vision of Paris nightlife revealed to the public. The photos of this exhibit which are the same as the photos published in his book represent the peak of Brassai's creative output during the years 1931-1932 at the beginning of his career and over 40 years before their eventual publication. Many of the photographs were new in the sense that they had not been published prior to this book or publicly exhibited prior to the Marlborough exhibition. Included were powerful images such as his 'Bijou of Montmartre.' <br/><br/>Brassai has signed this letter in large bold purple marker "Brassai" with an underline. He has also added a handwritten postscript in large green marker "venir nous soutenir" which translates "come support us." A content rich letter discussing one of Brassai's most important publications as well as its corresponding exhibition. Folded twice through the center. In excellent condition with a large bold and colorful signature. unknown books

I'm overwhelmed with emotion that this was the place where it collapsed due to a big fire last year. Of course the photo was taken by Brassai but it's probably him who applied the wonderful processing of Eliogravure." Oversize Hardcover. 10.75" wide by 12.75" tall.

Paris: Arts et Métiers Graphiques 1933. First edition. Softcover. First printing. Text by Paul Morand in French. A collection of 62 full bleed photogravures that represent the height of printing and imagery of France at night. A likely unique copy that includes two examples of the front cover. A close to near fine copy in spiral binding with some of the usual minor rubbing and edge wear to the front and rear covers but with the second front cover much brighter and largely free of wear. Internally a clean copy. A very nice copy of one of the true high spots of 20th century photography books and on virtually every best of lists. Parr & Badger v1 134 Roth 76.

BRASSAI and Paul Morand
Paris de Nuit
Paris: Edition Arts et Métiers Graphiques 1933. Understated bookplate to front endpaper with a signature to first page that reads "Brassai" but unlikely in the photographer's hand. Light edgewear to spiral-bound illustrated wrappers; a better than very good copy lacking serious defects. First Edition. Spiral bound quarto sixty-four gravure plates. The best-known and most iconic of the great Paris photobooks printed in a deep gravure so tactile it seems almost as if charcoal will rub off on the hands of the viewer. The cobblestone covers and endpapers are particularly evocative. Parr / Badger v1 134; Roth 76-77. Paris: Edition Arts et Métiers Graphiques unknown
