‎New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich 1972. Hardcover. VG/VG/VG. White cloth with white glossy color-illustrated dustjackets contained in a red cloth slipcase. 2 Volumes. vi 356; iv 366 pp. "The reader will discover Matisse watercolorist draftsman ceramist and the architect-- and unquestionably one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century."--Amazon. A wonderful and exhaustive novel of Henri Matisse by Louis Aragon profusely illustrated throughout with art by Matisse. Translated from the original French by Jean Stewart. With 155 color illustrations and a vast profusion of black and white illustrations throughout several folding over 500 in all. From jacket: A huge fascinating look at Matisse and his creative process by Aragon one of France's foremost poets covering the twenty-seven years of their acquaintance. Profusely illustrated with photographs of the artist and his models paintings and drawings these 2 thick volumes are both a visual and literary treat. "It took Aragon close to twenty-seven years to put this book together. He assembled here all that he had ever written on Matisse adding to it elaborating on it providing his glosses letting memory do its creative work shaping his material into what it pleases him to call 'a novel' and allowing himself numerous digressions. In spite of his elliptical ways however the subject 'Matisse' is overwhelmingly present most obviously through the illustrations carefully keyed into the text following Aragon's layout instructions and admirably illuminating it but no less through Matisse's own words which Aragon records with scrupulous fidelity. What he has arrived at is a dialogue between writer and painter unique in writings on artists and art and uniquely revealing of the creative process." Harcourt Brace Jovanovich hardcover books‎

‎<br /><br />With an Important Inscription by Aragon <br />Explicating the History of the Text<br /><br />Aragon Louis 1897-1982. La Naissance de la Paix par Rene Descartes: ballet danse au chateau royal de Stockholm le jour de la naissance de Sa Majeste 1649. Paris: Bibliotheque Francaise pour les amis de l'auteur J. Dumoulin 1946. Copy #128 of 300 signed by Aragon. In addition this copy bears a full-page inscription Aragon. 4to. Original wrappers glassine. 34p. plus colophon. <br /><br />With an inscription which reveals the bibliographic history of the original translation: <br /><br />"Your father has requested that I write a poem on the dance for you. It is not possible because I am incapable but this book is on dance. It is a description of a ballet by Rene Descarte written in 1649 for the birthday of the Queen of Sweden. There must be a manuscript in Stockholm but I based my writing on a manuscript which existed before the war in the Bibliotheque Nationale which has since vanished. Here I have expanded the text with comments. For precious Sandra for when she is a big girl who will charm the world with her dancing. Signed Aragon 18 June 1977." <br /><br />When Rene Descartes was 54 he went to Stockholm at the invitation of Queen Christina. It is said that because Descartes refused to dance at a court ball Queen Christina charged him with writing the verses for a court ballet La Naissance de la Paix. The ballet was composed for performance on 8 December 1649 the 23rd birthday of the Queen. It celebrates the Peace of Westphalia at the end of the Thirty Years' war which was more or less won by Sweden. <br /><br />According to a recent study by Richard Watson "the evidence of Descartes' authorship is virtually nonexistent. Almost certainly the ballet was written by Helie Poirier a professional writer of French verse." <br /><br />References: Watson Richard A. Descartes's Ballet 2007. Dumoulin books‎

‎Au Gran Jour‎

‎Paris: Editions Surrealistes. 1927. First Edition; First Printing. Softcover. Wraps a fair to good copy with a ¾ " horizontal tear at the center of the spine affecting all pages and wraps the latter separated at spine or nearly so. The context of this pamphlet is that the five surrealists above applied for membership of the French Communist Party. Without going into detail we can say that this attempt to work together--where the surrealists tried harder than the Communists to make the collaboration a success--it was not a success.A series of such attempts would follow over the years but this was the first of its kind. In early 1926 the collaboration was coming apart.After defending the surrealists' independence in Legitime Defense Breton Aragon Eluard Peret and Unik published this series of open letters. Most were signed in holograph facsimile. The first was to Belgian surrealists Paul Nouge and Camille Goemans who already found the Communist Party's notion of Surrealism to be seriously incorrect; the second was to Marcel Fourrier of the French Communist Party organ Clarte who tried to bring together the surrealists and the Clarte; the third letter was to non-communist surrealists reminding them not to pretend that their anarchic principles made them politically equivalent to those surrealists who actually sign up to join the Party; the fourth letter was to Pierre Naville whose qualities were recognized but whose exact position was hard to determine. The fifth letter was to the French CP noting that the surrealists did not apply to the Party as surrealists; that the right to criticize must be respected in a revolutionary party; and that the surrealists should not be assigned political tasks that were beyond their area of competence. Throughout the years from 1925 to 1927 it was clear that many members of the Clarte group were totally against the surrealists and they never changed their opinion that the surerealists were not serious weere dilettantes and more. ; 16mo 6" - 7" tall; 28 pp .

‎Aurelien 2 tomos‎

‎Buenos Aires: Editorial Lautaro 1947. Libro. Buen estado. R�stica. 20 x 15 cm. Colecci�n El Viento en el Mundo. Traducci�n de Arturo Serrano Plaja. 311 y 307 pp. Lomos algo gastados sellos de librer�a. �Es este el primer libro de Louis Aragon que despu�s de la Victoria se vierte al castellano. El poeta y escritor de la Resistencia cuya pluma no se quebr� y supo cantar y decir cosas a la libertad durante los cuatro a�os de ocupaci�n nazi pinta la comunidad parisiense -y francesa- de 1922 de la anterior posguerra cuando su h�roe ten�a treinta a�os: una sociedad harto desprovista de ideales que ya desde entonces sin perder minutos comenzaba a descomponerse a preparar quiz� involuntaria pero fatalmente el clima de "ego�smo colectivo" y de pre-quinta columna que tuvo r�brica de hojalata dieciocho a�os m�s tarde con el pa�s subyugado por la bota prusiana. Una burguesa sociedad que dorm�a bajo la molicie de la l�nea Maginot y donde el arte la cultura las fiestas el diarismo el adulterio los negocios y negociados la pol�tica y la incolora existencia sin preguntas no eran sino moldes que iban conformando a las criaturas cada una incrustada al problema personal cada una en su microuniverso fr�volas y hu�rfanas del verdadero amor a los dem�s a la patria al mundo. Intensamente humanos en su pequenez de corral y descriptos por mano maestra esos seres desenvuelven alma y acci�n en torno a las figuras de Aurelien y de Berenice cuyo amor va construyendo Aragon mediante un proceso donde los elementos objetivos alternan con p�ginas de extraordinaria factura psicol�gica. Hermoso y desoladoramente dram�tico el ep�logo lleva de pronto a los momentos de la derrota militar de 1940 producto de todas aquellas derrotas individuales. Tarde entonces y a trav�s de una Berenice perdida sin remedio quiz� el protagonista empiece a comprender claramente ciertas cosas: con el derrumbe de Francia all� quedar� inclusive sellada la suerte de Aurelien un casi cincuent�n ya espejo y s�mbolo de generaciones frustradas que nunca tuvieron motivos ni esperanzas superiores para vivir y que a la saz�n no pod�an tenerlos para morir.� Carlos Ruiz Daudet.
