L'amour fou Mad Love

1937ref. 87781Paris: Gallimard 1937. Fine. ""Convulsive beauty will be veiled-erotic fixed-explosive magic-circumstantial or it will not be"" Gallimard Paris 1937 14.50 x 19.50 cm Relié First edition one of 9 numbered copies on japon only deluxe issue aside from 35 copies on pur fil and a few on coloured paper.

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.

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poet translated from the German by Georges Hugnet Paul Dermée Lise Hertz i.e. Lise Deharme Nathalie Barney Stendhal the unpublished 'Le lac de Genève' writen under Stendhal's pseudonym 'Henri Martineau' James Joyce see below Thérèse Aubray Jacques Lacan the poem 'Hiatus Irrationalis' Marcel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.

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'.
