1918rif. 1910Lausanne, Imprimeries Réunies, 1918. Un volume in-8 (24 x 16 cm), 78 pages, broché sous couverture bleutée imprimée sur le premier plat. ÉDITION ORIGINALE. 51 poèmes illustrés de 18 dessins-calligrammes mécaniques en hors-texte reproduits en noir. Tirage unique sur vélin bouffant ivoire non numéroté. Le recueil est "terminé à Gstaad, le 5 avril 1918". Note historique : Francis Picabia (1879-1953) rencontre en 1917 à Paris Germaine Everling qui allait devenir pendant plus de quinze ans sa compagne dévouée. Au cours d'un bref voyage qu'ils effectuent ensemble aux Martigues, il écrit les premiers poèmes de ce qui allait devenir "La fille née sans mère", titre d'un dessin exécuté à New York en 1913. Puis au mois de février 1918, il part pour Lausanne avec sa femme (Gabrielle Buffet) pour y consulter un neurologue de renom; il y est bientôt rejoint par sa maîtresse. Il publie alors l'ouvrage grâce auquel il rencontre Tristan Tzara et le groupe Dada de Zurich. "La fille née sans mère" est, au même titre que "La Mariée" de Marcel Duchamp une machine célibataire ; l'œuvre est parallèle au "grand verre" de Duchamp, "La Mariée", est accompagnée par ses notes, "à la manière" [dit Duchamp], "d'un catalogue de grand magasin où l'image et le texte ne font qu'un tout". Rappelons que l'activité proprement littéraire de Picabia à l'époque de 391, est toute entière placée sous le signe de la mécanique; obsédé par la machine, fille née sans mère du cerveau de l'homme, Picabia n'aura de cesse de lui faire produire, en 1918, l'œuvre ambivalente parfaite comprenant dix-huit dessins et cinquante et un poèmes "équivalents". Les dessins, présentant des mécanismes étranges aux titres troublants de "Machine de bons mots", "Machine à idées actuelles dans l'amour", etc., ne sont pas sans évoquer l'intrigante "Mariée mise à nu" de Marcel Duchamp. (Sanouillet 391 p. 32; Picabia Mnam p. 449 reproduit).

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.

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.
