‎Photographs by Man Ray 1920 Paris 1934. first issue‎

‎Hartford: James Thrall Soby 1934. First edition. Publisher's plastic comb binding stiff wrappers. Minor vertical crease to front cover light chipping to outer edge. Upper and lower portions of the front cover coming loose from the binding but the cover is still held firmly. Internally clean and bright. Now housed in a custom clamshell box.<br /> <br /> The very rare first issue. As Roth describes the publisher "attempted to generate demand where none existed by suggesting the edition had sold out. After replacing the title pages of these copies- presumably a healthy percentage of the run whose sales had in fact been slow to none- with one stating 'deuxième edition' second edition he returned them for sale. Copies with the original title page are exceedingly rare."<br /> <br /> Man Ray's first monograph with texts in English and French by Duchamp Tzara Eluard Breton and Man Ray himself. Frontispiece portrait of Man Ray by Picasso. Contains 104 heliogravure images. "Part art part illustration the book was meant to be an inventory of his work a kind of grand promotional catalogue. Man Ray's album was a virtuoso presentation of modern European-style photography. Close-up views distorted angles double exposures night photography negative prints rayographs still lifes nudes portraits fashion photographs and even a painting. were reproduced. Intended for an American more than a European audience the album was Man Ray's means of presenting his career to a homeland that had rarely seen his work." Perpetual Motif: The Art of Man Ray pp. 35-39 Roth pp. 80-81. James Thrall Soby unknown‎

‎MAN RAY‎

‎Portrait de René Crevel.‎

‎Seule épreuve signée connue par Man Ray [Paris, circa 1950]. 1 tirage sur carte, d'après-guerre, signé « Man Ray » à la mine de plombe en angle inférieur droit. L'épreuve est signée Man Ray à la mine de plomb en angle inférieur droit et contient au dos la mention, de la main de Char, «René Crevel».‎

‎Ce tirage constitue l'un de ceux que Man Ray a fourni dans les années 50-60 à ses amis proches. Un tirage figurait dans la vente Breton (2003, n° 5106), identique à celui-ci – sans être signé. C'est la seule épreuve signée connue : ce tirage constitue l'un de ceux que Man Ray a fourni dans les années 1950-1960 à ses amis proches. Un tirage figurait dans la vente Breton (2003, n° 5106), identique à celui-ci - mais non signé. Notre épreuve est celle de René Char, avec une note au verso de la main du poète. Le suicide de Crevel le frappa douloureusement. Des années plus tard, il avouera : « Je n'ai pu, depuis la mort de ce frère précieux, relire un seul de ses ouvrages. C'est dire combien je m'ennuie de lui, de l'éclat de sa présence, des conquêtes de sa pensée dont il était prodigue. C'est l'homme, parmi ceux que j'ai connus, qui donnait le mieux et le plus vite l'or de sa nature. Il ne partageait pas, il donnait. » Toutes les autres épreuves recensées de ce portrait iconique sont vierges de la signature de Man Ray, et souvent dans des tirages tardifs réalisés par Gassman. Lorsque Pierre Paraf, le directeur de La République, rend hommage à René Crevel dont le suicide vient d'être découvert, il évoque un artiste « dont les généreuses indignations étaient servies par un âpre talent satirique ». L'écrivain et poète, surréaliste de la première heure, mais exclu du mouvement en 1935 et membre critique du Parti communiste depuis 1922, s'est donné la mort à son domicile, ne laissant qu'une note pour sa maîtresse, la comtesse argentine Tota Cuevas de Vera : « Prière de m'incinérer. Dégoût. » Peut-être celui d'une France bourgeoise et parlementaire de la IIIe République qu'il méprisait l'une et l'autre, telle qu'il la décrivait avant sa mort dans les colonnes de Comoedia : « Vice en pantoufle, adultères rondouillards, mesquinerie, lésine, sourire faussement bonhomme, au fond positivisme insensible jusqu'à la minute catastrophique, où, alors, la terreur pousse les esprits soi-disant libres à remettre Dieu à la mode, à s'en tirer par une assurance sur la vie et sur la mort. Tous ces symptômes d'ailleurs accusent une maladie qui, pour être celle de la Troisième République, ne date point d'hier. » René Crevel consacre un article à Man Ray dès 1925, qu'il présente comme l'auteur d'une chasse miraculeuse et comme un sorcier, un « chasseur du mystère » (Crevel, « Le Miroir aux objets », L'Art vivant, n° 14, 15 août 1925). Man Ray tire ce portait sept ans plus tard. Il sera utilisé bien plus tard pour la couverture de la biographie de Michel Carassou et également par Claude Courtot pour le frontispice de son René Crevel aux « Poètes d'aujourd'hui » chez Seghers (1969), une image dont Marie Laurencin témoigna de son extraordinaire justesse, avec ses « cheveux jamais pareils et (s)on visage changeant d'adolescent rieur et malheureux ». Jean-Claude Vrain, dans son catalogue de Portraits d'écrivains, datait ce portrait de 1932 : « Ce très beau portrait tranche avec la plupart des photographies de René Crevel que nous possédons. L'écrivain y fait moins dandy, sa mise est moins élégante. Il apparaît ici sous un aspect beaucoup plus ‘terrien', en bras de chemise, le col déboutonné. Son visage, moins angélique que d'habitude, mais toujours d'un aspect poupin, exprime une détermination et une force que l'on retrouve dans certains de ses textes les plus virulents comme Le Clavecin de Diderot » (n° 307 du catalogue). La version proposée, non signée, était également un tirage tardif des années 1970 par Pierre Gassman. Le Centre Pompidou conserve le négatif de la photo qui a servi à ce recadrage, sous la cote AM 1995-281 (524). Provenance : René Char‎

This copy is inscribed on the half title to Frank Goodman 'one of the last of the old-time Broadway press agents a star handler and headline hustler' New York Times. The drawing and inscription are on the half title. The inscription which is bordered by and incorporates the drawing reads 'For Mr. Frank Goodman Man Ray April 2 1963'. The floating eye is above Ray's signature and the nose and mouth extend beneath the inscription. CONDITION: Nice copy in the original black cloth in gilt and copper in first issue jacket complete with $7.95 price slight surface wear to jacket with wrinkle at top; book has been recased with new endpapers; some light staining to top and bottom edges of text. Man Ray born Emmanuel Radnitzky 1890-1976 American painter photographer and conceptual artist active in France a leading light of the Dada and Surrealist movement. Jess McKinley's obituary in the New York Times offers a brilliant look back at Goodman's career: 'In an era when movies like 'Sweet Smell of Success' made Broadway seem like the most glamorous and gritty terrain in entertainment Mr. Goodman was as reliable a presence as broken hearts and dreams come true. From 1939 when he started his career to 1961 Mr. Goodman represented more than 50 Broadway productions including eight shows in 1960 alone. Over the years Mr. Goodman would act as a booster and sometimes as a baby sitter for every type of show person and show personality from the volatile genius Jerome Robbins of 'Gypsy' to the delicate ingénue Audrey Hepburn in 'Gigi' in 1951 to the predictably haunted playwrights William Inge and Clifford Odets among others. Summing up his career in his unpublished memoir Mr. Goodman started with an adage about the publicity game: 'You don't get paid for the work you do; you get paid for the grief you take.' Mr. Goodman seemed to believe that but only to a point. 'Still and all' he wrote 'there's worse ways to make a living'.'B/w Illustrations. Atlantic Monthly / Little Brown hardcover‎
