Plein maroquin mosaïqué, doublures et gardes de maroquin noir, tête et tranches argentées à l'œser, couvertures et dos conservés, chemise et étui. ÉDITION ORIGINALE du plus célèbre écrit d'André Breton. L’UN DES 109 PREMIERS EXEMPLAIRES SUR PAPIER LAFUMA-NAVARRE AU FILIGRANE NRF, RÉIMPOSÉS DANS LE FORMAT IN-4 TELLIÈRE. Celui-ci nominatif, imprimé pour M Ozanne, secrétaire général de la Compagnie P.L.M. - Note bibliographique : Ce roman fut inspiré à André Breton par sa rencontre, au hasard d'une de ses fréquentes promenades parisiennes, avec une jeune femme à l'aspect enchanteur et mystique. Entraperçue le lundi 4 octobre 1926 près d'Opéra, Nadja, de son vrai nom Léona Camille Ghislaine Delcourt (1902-1941), fut, pendant quelques semaines, l'objet de sa curiosité passionnée. Le comportement erratique de la jeune femme mit bientôt fin à leurs rencontres, mais l'idéal qu'elle incarna brièvement, ce rejet des conventions de l'existence et sa réceptivité à l'extraordinaire et à l'intuition, ne cesseront désormais d'obséder Breton. Les deux tiers du livre furent écrits huit mois plus tard, en août 1927, au manoir d'Ango, à Varengeville-sur-Mer. La première partie, qui sert de préambule, retrace les épisodes les plus marquants de la vie de l'auteur, ses rencontres et les curiosités qu'il observe et consigne. La deuxième, centrale, est le « récit minutieux des dix jours passés » avec Nadja et de « la fin de leurs relations ». La troisième enfin, rédigée dans les derniers jours de 1927, constitue la partie théorique du texte ; elle fut perçue comme le premier manifeste du surréalisme. L’ouvrage s’achève sur cette formule devenue célèbre : « La beauté sera convulsive ou ne sera pas. » Breton y prône une conception de la beauté qui inspirera tous ses compagnons de route, qu’ils soient peintres ou poètes. AVEC 44 PLANCHES DE PHOTOGRAPHIES : L'usage révolutionnaire que fit l'auteur de ces clichés contribua pour beaucoup au rayonnement de Nadja. Pour la première fois dans l'histoire littéraire, un auteur fait l'économie de la description narrative, en substituant au texte lui-même une reproduction des lieux, personnes, lettres, documents, dessins ou tableaux cités. Les vues de Paris furent confiées à Jacques Boiffard, capable « d'accompagner la prose sans ornement de Breton de paysages étrangement déserts », les portraits d'amis et les rencontres sont de Man Ray, photographe officiel des dadaïstes, et la photo du gant de bronze (p. 67) est due à Lise Deharme. Quant au portrait de Nadja, que Breton érige en symbole, il est significativement absent du corpus.

1939réf. 42467Paris: Art et Médecine 1939. First edition. Softcover. g to vg. Folio 12 1/4 x 9 1/2". Unpaginated. 32pp. Original photo-illustrated wrappers with blue lettering to front cover and black white and blue lettering to back cover. This March 1939 issue of the avant-garde magazine "Art et Médecine" is splendidly illustrated throughout with striking photogravures by Brassaï Gaston Paris Pierre Boucher Wols André de Diénès and other key photographers of the period.

Wrappers slightly foxed and rubbed along edges. Corners bumped thus slightly affecting pages throughout. Text in French. Wrappers in overall good interior in very good condition. Throughout the 1930s Gaston Paris 1903-1964 was one of the pillars of the weekly magazine "Vu" founded in 1928 by Lucien Vogel. The only salaried photographer he shared the magazine's pages with Laure Albin-Guillot Germaine Krull André Kertész Martin Munkacsi Man Ray and Robert Capa. Alongside his reports and portraits of artists and celebrities of the time he produced strange photographic series inspired by surrealism work which appeared in "Detective magazine" from the 1930s to the 1950s to illustrate its stories of gangsters and femmes fatales. His archives were purchased by the Agence Roger-Viollet shortly after his death. In 1934 Pierre Boucher 1908-2000 founds with René Zuber the Alliance-Photo agency that delivers the first deontology of photography and enhances the importance of photographers' signatures. Multidisciplinary the French photographer explores the avant-garde aesthetic with surrealist nudes photograms collages and solarizations. He also produces more commercial works illustrating advertisements and books such as Emile Allais' French Skiing Method. Wols was the pseudonym of Alfred Otto Wolfgang Schulze 1913-1951 a German painter and photographer predominantly active in France. Though broadly unrecognized in his lifetime he is considered a pioneer of Lyrical Abstraction one of the most influential artists of the Tachisme movement. André de Diénès 1913-1985 was a Hungarian-Romanian photographer noted for his work with Marilyn Monroe and his nude photography. Art et Médecine unknown books

Despite strong personal and professional ties in the U.S.--Henry Miller Harper's Bazaar's Carmel Snow and Edward Steichen who featured Brassai's work in many MoMA exhibitions--Brassai remained reticent about travel to the U.S. until 1957 when Holiday magazine offered generous compensation and artistic freedom to photograph New York and Louisiana. From the first symbolic image of this voyage--the Statue of Liberty appearing over the ship's prow--Brassai came under the spell of America and his photographs innately captured his new perspective. In New York he was captivated by the graphic skyscrapers and the rhythmic to-ing and fro-ing of the crowds. Unlike his static photographs of Paris--posing prostitutes embracing lovers sleeping street people--here he captured sequences of movement--children playing fashionable women parading by or the effects of light filtering through the urban architecture. In Louisiana he continued to photograph more languorous sequences but here he reveled in color--the copper skin of sunbathers the pastel tones of prom dresses the vibrant neon of amusement park attractions. The New Orleans music halls nightlife women and exotic vegetation recall scenes from 1930s Paris. This exuberant study of 1950s America offers the reader unprecedented access to Brassai's work including previously unpublished color photography. . 2011. 2080200844 . Flammarion hardcover
