Man Ray born Emmanuel Radnitzky 1890-1976 American painter photographer and conceptual artist active in France a leading light of the Dada and Surrealist movement. Jess McKinley's obituary in the New York Times offers a brilliant look back at Goodman's career: 'In an era when movies like 'Sweet Smell of Success' made Broadway seem like the most glamorous and gritty terrain in entertainment Mr. Goodman was as reliable a presence as broken hearts and dreams come true. From 1939 when he started his career to 1961 Mr. Goodman represented more than 50 Broadway productions including eight shows in 1960 alone. Over the years Mr. Goodman would act as a booster and sometimes as a baby sitter for every type of show person and show personality from the volatile genius Jerome Robbins of 'Gypsy' to the delicate ingénue Audrey Hepburn in 'Gigi' in 1951 to the predictably haunted playwrights William Inge and Clifford Odets among others. Summing up his career in his unpublished memoir Mr. Goodman started with an adage about the publicity game: 'You don't get paid for the work you do; you get paid for the grief you take.' Mr. Goodman seemed to believe that but only to a point. 'Still and all' he wrote 'there's worse ways to make a living'.'B/w Illustrations. Atlantic Monthly / Little Brown hardcover

1937rif. 21205811937. Paris: Jeanne Bucher 1937 4to. Original pictorial red and white wrappers lettered in red to spine; pp. 176 30 with pictorial title and 66 full-page illustrations by Man Ray; pages partially uncut; very minor creasing to lower corners and spine a little frayed otherwise near fine copy; author's presentation inscription to half-title 'a Georges Mouton tres amicalement Paul Eluard' see below.First edition number 319 of 650 copies printed on Chester verge of a total edition of 675 copies presented by Eluard to the Surrealist writer Georges Mouton. Les mains libres is the second collaborative work between Man Ray a pioneer of the Surrealist movement and Paul Eluard poet and one of the movement's founders. During the 1930s Man Ray made numerous drawings in Paris and the South of France. He shared them with Eluard who requested to keep them temporarily. Adhering to the Surrealist tradition the poet 'illustrates' the images not the opposite: upon Man Ray's return Eluard had paired each drawing with a poem. This collaboration resulted in the publication of Les mains libres featuring fifty-four illustrations by Man Ray facing as many poems by Eluard and three appendices 'Sade' 'Portraits' and 'Details' which include Man Ray's portraits of Pablo Picasso Andre Breton and Eluard. Provenance: This copy was presented by Eluard to the writer Goerge Mouton. Connected to Surrealist circles in the 1930s Mouton was a member of the Contre-Attaque group led by Georges Bataille and Andre Breton during 1935-1936. unknown

1937rif. 2467Paris Éditions GLM 1937. MAN RAY. La Photographie n'est pas L'Art. Paris: Éditions GLM 1937. Slim octavo 17 loose leaves in original flexible blue cloth portfolio original black die-cut wrapper. First edition of this landmark treatise with 12 full-page halftones of Man Ray's distinctive photographs 'regarded by some as amongst the greatest of the 20th century' Parr & Badger. Jean Cocteau called him 'the poet of the darkroom.' 'It was with Man Ray's arrival in Paris in the summer of 1921 when Dada was at its height that photographic experimentation temporarily leaderless after the disastrous war took a decisive new direction' Frizot 442. 'Man Ray's work introduced a particular note to Dadaism since he used photography and recognized early on that this medium could reproduce the effects of object-based art in two-dimensional form. Photography was in a position to preserve the ordinary and to unleash surreal effects' Icons of Photography 26. 'Although he incorporated photography into his Dadaist practice much of his photographic activity was given over to conventional portrait and fashion commissions. This rankled with him and 'photography is not an art' was a constant theme in his work. La Photographie n'est pas L'Art is one of the most enigmatic yet advanced of all his books. It can be taken as a summation of his experiments in photography and might be said to be his photographic swansong' Parr & Badger 108-09. With text by André Breton. See Roth 80-81 86-87. Interior and images fine. Only light sunning to cover through aperture in wrapper. A fine copy. Scarce. Bauman quote In a contemporary clam shell box in blue cloth. GLM

1934rif. 2198Hartford: James Thrall Soby 1934. First edition. Publisher's plastic comb binding stiff wrappers. Minor vertical crease to front cover light chipping to outer edge. Upper and lower portions of the front cover coming loose from the binding but the cover is still held firmly. Internally clean and bright. Now housed in a custom clamshell box. The very rare first issue. As Roth describes the publisher "attempted to generate demand where none existed by suggesting the edition had sold out. After replacing the title pages of these copies- presumably a healthy percentage of the run whose sales had in fact been slow to none- with one stating 'deuxième edition' second edition he returned them for sale. Copies with the original title page are exceedingly rare." Man Ray's first monograph with texts in English and French by Duchamp Tzara Eluard Breton and Man Ray himself. Frontispiece portrait of Man Ray by Picasso. Contains 104 heliogravure images. "Part art part illustration the book was meant to be an inventory of his work a kind of grand promotional catalogue. Man Ray's album was a virtuoso presentation of modern European-style photography. Close-up views distorted angles double exposures night photography negative prints rayographs still lifes nudes portraits fashion photographs and even a painting. were reproduced. Intended for an American more than a European audience the album was Man Ray's means of presenting his career to a homeland that had rarely seen his work."

1937rif. 195165Paris: G.L.M. 1937. Inscribed by Man Ray to Surrealist muse Lise Deharme First and only edition presentation copy from the photographer inscribed on the title page to the Surrealist writer and muse Lise Deharme "A mon amie Lise affectueusement Man Ray Juin 1937". Though a successful writer in her own right collaborating with Joan Miró and Claude Cahun among others Deharme is best remembered as a Surrealist muse enchanting André Breton who contributed the foreword and posing as the Queen of Spades for Man Ray's image Lise Deharme en dame de pique. Described as Man Ray's "photographic swansong" this ironically titled little publication marked the turning point in the artist's life when he shifted his focus from photography to painting Parr & Badger. It is thought that during production the plate for one of the images "Plein-air artistique" was damaged and for many copies a reprint on a different paper stock was included. This copy has all 12 prints on the matching original paper stock. The die-cut outer wrapper was designed to function as a rudimentary frame for ease of viewing the images cropped to the edge as intended. Octavo. With 5 unnumbered letterpress leaves text one side only 12 heliograph plates after photographs by Man Ray. Sheets loose as issued in original blue wrappers front cover lettered in black. With the original die-cut black window wrapper. Blue wrapper faded through window; top edge of black outer wrapper slightly bumped: otherwise a near-fine copy. Parr & Badger p. 108. unknown
1934rif. 140948952Hartford CT: James Thrall Soby 1934. First Edition. Fine. A superlative example of the first edition first issue of May Ray's first monograph. 104 pp. with frontispiece portrait of Man Ray by Pablo Picasso the original title page and gravure plates after photographs by Man Ray with text in English and French. Bound in publisher's comb-bound pictorial card wraps. Light wear to wraps with faint marginal soiling to contents else Fine unusual in such nice condition and with spirals intact. Initial sales were so dismal that the publisher recalled most copies of the first printing and replaced the title page with two different fictitious ones claiming "second edition" and "deuxieme edition" in efforts to stoke demand. Copies like this one with the original title page are therefore rare. A fantastic copy of this pioneering work. James Thrall Soby unknown
1947rif. 91779Paris: Editions Cahier d'art 1947. Fine. Dora Maar Signs Her Own Work Editions Cahier d'art Paris 1947 18.50 x 24.50 cm broché First edition which supposedly had an issue of 500 numbered copies. Gallimard donated the paper required for the production of this book but only 258 copies could be printed rather than the 500 announced in the justification from a note by Paul Éluard. A slight crease to the covers slight marginal sunning primarily affecting the rear cover. Illustrated with 11 photographs of Nusch Éluard by Man Ray and Dora Maar. Le temps déborde is a collection of eleven poems published in 1947 a few months after the sudden and unexpected death of Paul Éluards wife Nusch. A poignant ode to their seventeen years of life together the work is illustrated with striking portraits of Nusch. This exceptional copy is signed by Dora Maar beneath or directly on each of her five photographs. We are aware of only one other copy signed by the photographer and none signed by Man Ray. A rare and beautiful copy. In 1965 paying tribute to his friend Aragon recalled his discovery of this masterpiece: He signed it with an invented name Didier Desroches because he had killed Paul Éluard. I let him talk. What he had shown me of Didier was of a confounding beauty. This slender book which was to appear as the work of an unknown to say merely that in my eyes it surpasses everything Éluard ever signed with his own name is to say too little. I thought so then and I think so today. The attribution of each photograph in the collection to either Man Ray or Dora Maar has long been a source of confusion. Strangely the question seems to attract little scholarly attention: as Mary Ann Caws notes Dora Maars portraits of the Surrealists muse were originally attributed to Man Ray since they were so clearly superb in their construction and realization These photographing women: The scandal of genius Angels of anarchy: women artists and surrealism 2009. This misattribution was also a consequence of the systematic erasure of Dora Maars photographic work which she abandoned at Picassos request. The two series by Dora Maar and Man Ray are further entwined by their shared style and by both artists fascination with Nusch. Audacious framing and subtle interplay of shadow and light reflect the two Surrealist photographers formal innovation. Beyond aesthetic alchemy the three of them were very close at the time of these photographs 1935-1938. For several years they all took part with their partners Ady Fidelin and Paul Eluard in late-summer gatherings in the rustic village of Mougins overlooking Cannes at the invitation of Picasso where they indulged in role play identity and couple exchanges Alicia Ortiz Dujovne Dora Maar. Some of the collections illustrations are well known: Man Rays Nusch with mirror his diptych with her eyes closed and open and the celebrated portrait by Dora Maar illustrating the poem LExtase with her carefully lit face floating in darkness supported only with her fingers an elusive expression in her eyes. In one unforgettable version of the same image Les années vous guettent The years lie in wait. Maar superimposes a silvery spiders web over Nuschs features Louise Baring Dora Maar: Paris in the time of Man Ray Jean Cocteau and Picasso. The resonance of the photograph is all the more powerful since Nusch died early of a heart attack just on the day she was to lunch with Dora Maar for whom it was an irreparable loss. Mary Ann Caws For other photographs attribution had remained uncertain notably the portrait of Nusch bare-breasted and draped in foliage illustrating En vertu de lamour: the absence of a signature supports the attribution to Man Ray. A sublime poetic and artistic tribute featuring the finest portraits of Nusch central figure in Man Ray and Éluards shared imagery and graceful model for Dora Maars most accomplished portraits at last restored to their right Editions Cahier d'art unknown
