ref. 002510Paris: 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. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and shipped with tracking. Hard Cover. Near Fine. Paris-Publications Hardcover

1933ref. 2311Paris: Arts et Métiers Graphiques 1933. First Edition. Near fine. Spiral-bound Quarto 9 7/8 x 7 1/2 inches 248 x 191 mm 12 pp 62 photogravure plates after photographs by Brassaï each numbered in lower outer corner. Spiral bound stiff card covers without jacket as issued; housed in a custom clamshell case lined in red felt covered in red cloth with morocco spine gilt title. Two-notch chip at bottom of spiral extending into first leaf and one notch at top of spiral; pages lightly toned at the edges but photogravures in excellent condition. 8 pages of text in French by Paul Morand plus a 4 page index with detailed captions for each of the photographs. As beautifully stated in the first line of Paul Morand's introduction to this exceptional collection of photographs: Paris at night is not the negative of the day; the surfaces not not stop being white to become black: in reality they are not even the same images." The 62 photographs by Hungarian-born photographer Brassaï Gyula Halász capture nocturnal scenes throughout Paris - from glowing wet pavement and empty streets to bars cafés and the denizens of Paris at night. This was Brassaï's first published photo book and the work that established his reputation as a master of night photography showcasing his ability to extract light and atmosphere from darkness. A collector's treasure scarce in good condition this is one of the most influential photo books ever produced and is admired not just for its content but for the its productions values: the deep and velvety gravure printing and the evocative layout make it an object of intense tactile and visual appeal. The photogravures are in exceptional condition-richly inked with deep velvety blacks luminous highlights and a striking tonal range that preserves the full atmospheric subtlety of Brassaï's nocturnal vision. The plates retain remarkable clarity and contrast with a vividness and depth seldom found testifying to both the high production standards of Arts et Métiers Graphiques and the care with which this copy has been preserved.

A mixture of the literary and artistic the illustration is of monochrome photographs throughout with Lee Miller contributing to each issue; Man Ray's work also features - the covers are his work - as well as Nadar Dora Maar Brassaï Pierre Keffer Eli Lotar Lloyd Sloane and others.The literary contributors - all listed on the covers of each issue - are extremely varied and include Georges Ribemont-Dessaignes who also wrote the record reviews in the first two numbers Robert Desnos two poems in no. 1 Céline Arnauld Jacques Baron Hans Arp as a poet translated from the German by Georges Hugnet Paul Dermée Lise Hertz i.e. Lise Deharme Nathalie Barney Stendhal the unpublished 'Le lac de Genève' writen under Stendhal's pseudonym 'Henri Martineau' James Joyce see below Thérèse Aubray Jacques Lacan the poem 'Hiatus Irrationalis' Marcel Jouhandeau Ilarie Voronca the poem 'Foules' translated from the Romanian by M. de Boully D. H. Lawrence a translation of 'The Man Who Died' Claire Goll Eugène Jolas 'Gyroscope' Raymond Queneau 'Fragments d'un Roman' and many others.Of particular note in terms of content not to mention innovation are the following: - Alejo Carpentier's 'Images et Prières Nègres' illustrated with a series of photographs - the negatives were burnt in the presence of the Cuban sorceror 'Taita José' - of ritualistic objects shrines and saints; - Le Phare de Neuilly's presumably Deharme herself writing under the eponymous psudonym 'Manifeste du Désarmement Psychique'; - James Joyce's poem 'Ecce Puer' written on the birth of his grandson Stephen in 1932 translated into French by Yvan Goll and printed on the right of a sheet of transparent crystal paper; beneath on a sheet of glossy paper is a photographic reproduction of Joyce's manuscript for the poem and at left is a portrait of both Joyce and his grandson by Robert H.

A muse and patron to the Surrealists - she encountered them as a group in the 1920s - her first published work was 'Images dans le Dos de Cocher' of 1922 although her collaboration with Miró 'Il était une petite pie' of 1928 is cited more usually as her first publication both were issued under her maiden name Ilse Hirtz. Deharme was immortalised by Breton in Nadja as 'la dame au gant' and she can be regarded in many ways as being 'Le Phare de Neuilly' herself.'Page de couverture identique pour les trois fascicules : photographie de Man Ray contient de nombreuses reproductions photographiques de Man Ray Lee Miller Nadar Brassaï Pierre Keffer Dora Maar'.
