1966rif. 112218Cannes 1966. Unpublished and heavily corrected manuscript of Brassai's account of his visit to Picasso A superb unpublished and heavily corrected manuscript in French in which Brassaï recounts a visit to Picasso a long-standing friend at his home near Cannes. Brassaï who photographed much of Picasso's work in the 1940s published Conversations with Picasso in 1964 creating an intimate portrait of the artist through an account of their friendship and artistic collaboration and recording each of their meetings in minute detail. Picasso said of the volume "Read this book if you want to understand me." Written in a similar style this account records an afternoon during which Picasso speaks about his nostalgia for his former studios his health his enthusiasm for the recently invented felt-tip pen his opinion of his own writings his relationship with his wife Jacqueline and his views on feminism. Though unmarked as such the manuscript comes from the collection of Brassaï's close friend and colleague the photographer Stefan Lorant founder of Picture Post the pioneering pictorial magazine.

Illustrated with 20 photographs including 7 photographs by Man Ray 4 by Brassaï one each by Dora Maar Henri Cartier-Bresson and Rogi André as well as artworks by Max Ernst and the statue of a female character by Giacometti in which the writer saw the very emanation of the desire to love and to be loved in search of its real human object in its painful ignorance. André Breton offers a meditation on love at first sight and passion drawn from his fateful first encounter in 1934 with his future wife Jacqueline Lamba this woman was scandalously beautiful. Recalling the beginnings of their romantic relationship he reflects on chance and embarks on a rereading of their love story detecting all sorts of phantasmagoric signs analysing his experiences and feelings. He concludes with an open letter to their daughter Aube born in December 1935 which ends with these words: I want you to be madly loved. A masterpiece of Surrealist literature both an extension and opposite of Nadja which was published nine years earlier also considered an objectbook in the classic surrealist style interleaved with photographs by Cartier-Bresson Brassaï and Man Ray . It proves its own startling kind of existence in the real world being not just a book not just the record of an extraordinary love that between André Breton and the artist with whom he shared his life but an object inserted madly and really now in our world Mary Ann Caws Translators note Mad Love University of Nebraska Press 1987.
