BRASSAI
Proust In The Power Of Photography
The University of Chicago Press Chicago: 2001. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. One of the most original and memorable photographers of the twentieth century Brassa� was also a journalist sculptor and writer. He took great pride in his writing and he loved literature and language-French most of all. When he arrived in Paris in 1924 Brassa� began teaching himself French by reading Proust. Captured by the sensuality and visual strategies of Proust's writing Brassa� soon became convinced that he had discovered a kindred spirit. Brassa� wrote: "In his battle against Time that enemy of our precarious existence ever on the offensive though never openly so it was in photography also born of an age-old longing to halt the moment to wrest it from the flux of duration in order to 'fix' it forever in a semblance of eternity that Proust found his best ally." He quoted Proust in his own writing and from the annotated books in his library we know that he spent a lifetime studying and dissecting Proust's prose often line by line. Drawing on his own experience as a photographer and author Brassa� discovers a neglected aspect of Proust's interests offering us a fascinating study of the role of photography both in Proust's oeuvre and in early-twentieth-century culture. Brassa� shows us how Proust was excessively interested in possessing portraits of his acquaintances and how the process by which he remembered and wrote was quite similar to the ways in which photographs register and reveal life's images. This book-beautifully translated by Richard Howard-features previously obscure photographs from Brassa�'s High Society series and offers a rare glimpse into two of France's most fascinating artistic minds. Contents Introduction I Photography in Proust's Life 1 Birth of a Passion 2 Exchanges of Photographs 3 The Role of Photography in Proust's Artistic Formation II Keys for the Search 4 The Giant Photograph of the Knights of Malta 5 The Portrait of Berma 6 To Win Back Her Husband Gilberte Obtains Photographs of His Mistress 7 Saint-Loup's Disappointment 8 The Longed-for Photograph of Gilberte Swann 9 Miss Sacripant the "Lady in Pink" and Odette: One and the Same Person 10 The Fascinating Duchess de Guermantes 11 When Marcel's Grandmother Poses for Saint-Loup 12 The Profaned Photograph of Vinteuil 13 The Photograph of Charlus Puts Morel to Flight 14 Reincarnations III The Influence of Photography on Proust's Thought 15 A Photographer's Studio 16 Reportage 17 A Lens of Variable Focal Length 18 Chronophotography 19 An A-human Vision 20 Photography at the Origin of Proustian Relativism 21 From Latent Image to Involuntary Memory Translated into English from the French by Richard Howard.

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.

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.

BRASSAI
Volupt�s 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. "Brassa�'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 Volupt�s de Paris made him internationally famous" Britannica. "Paris by Night was no sooner off the press than Brassa� sold the remaining photographs to the popular magazine Voil� 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 Brassa� 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 Volupt�s 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." Brassa� was not pleased with the production and distribution of the book and soon disowned it. "However Volupt�s de Paris did not entirely escape critical notice. Peter Pollack. judged it among Brassa�'s best work 'an invaluable collection of Brassa�'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 Brassa�: 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.
