1932ref. 162876Paris: Édition Arts et Métiers Graphiques 1933 1932. A superb copy inscribed by author and photographer First edition of the photographer's first publication double presentation copy inscribed by Morand on the first page of text "à Pierre Cot Voici un joli décor pour La Patriouille etc. Chut! chut! chut! tres fideliement P. Morand Paris fev. 32" and further inscribed by Brassaï across the following two pages "Pour Christian-Vincent Matorasso ce Paris de Nuit perdu et retrouvé avec toute ma sympathie Brassai Ete Village le 7 mai 1965". The first recipient Pierre Cot 1895-1977 was a politician central to the establishment of the French Air Force and later of Air France. Morand's inscription alludes to La Patriouille a display wing of the air force the French equivalent of the British Red Arrows. Pasted below Morand's inscription is a small photograph of Brassaï in later life which probably relates to the photographer's subsequent inscription. This is a superb copy of the work in which Brassaï showcases his mastery "at drawing luminosity from the darkness. The swaths of wet paving stones featured on the covers and endpapers of Paris de Nuit gleam like pale beacons in the streetlight. Inside Brassaï explores the city beginning with its broad vistas and grand public spaces and gradually moving into the demimonde he knew so intimately" Roth p. 76. It remains one of the most influential photobooks; signed copies are rare and copies inscribed by both author and photographer rarer still. Quarto. Illustrated with 62 full-page gravure plates and 2 double-page plates as endpapers. Spiral bound monochrome photographic wrappers front cover lettered in red. Housed in a custom black quarter morocco solander box by the Chelsea Bindery. A few punch holes slightly worn covers lightly creased and rubbed at extremities a few pages faintly soiled. A very good copy of a notoriously fragile book. Parr & Badger I p. 134; Roth p. 76. unknown
1966ref. 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 Unpublished and heavily corrected manuscript of Brassai's account of his visit to Picasso A superb unpublished and heavily corrected manuscript in French in which Brassaï recounts a visit to Picasso a long-standing friend at his home near Cannes.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.
