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

Paris: Editions Surréalistes 1926. A fine copy of this legendary Surrealist publication. Between 1916 and 1917 the artist and photographer Man Ray created a series of collages he called "Revolving Doors." He included the series in his third solo exhibition at the Daniel Gallery in New York in 1919. The collages whose geometric shapes combine machine-like and anthropomorphic forms were framed and installed on a rotating pole that the viewer could spin. The original collages were destroyed but he later reproduced them in this series of pochoir prints published by Éditions Surréalistes in Paris. This publication represents an important contribution to avant-garde art and together with Jazz and the Prose du Transsibérien comprise the Holy Trinity of great pochoir books of the twentieth century. Complete sets in fine condition are extremely rare. One of 105 copies signed on the colophon by Man Ray. Reynolds 71. unknown
