Free Rein is a gathering of seminal essays by André Breton the foremost figure among the French surrealists. Written between 1936 and 1952 they include addresses manifestoes prefaces exhibition pamphlets and theoretical polemical and lyrical essays. Together they display the full span of Breton’s preoccupations his abiding faith in the early principles of surrealism and the changing orientations in light of crucial events of those years of the surrealist movement within which he remained the leading force.Having broken decisively with Marxism in the mid-1930s Breton repeatedly addresses the horrors of the Stalinist regime which denounced him during the Moscow trials of 1936. He argues for the autonomy of art and poetry and condemns the subservience to “revolutionary” aims exemplified by socialist realism. Other articles reflect on aesthetic issues cinema music and education and provide detailed meditations on the literary artistic and philosophical topics for which he is best known.

1975réf. 27168New York:: Macmillan 1975. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine uinclipped dust jacket. Thirion a French revolutionary was a prominent member of the French avant-garde involved in the Marxist-surrealist movement in Paris after World War I. His fellow "revolutionaries" included the likes of Breton Aragon Dali Miro and Giacometti. Thiron joined the Communist party in 1925 and he joined the surrealist movement in 1928. He was a friend of Louis Aragon and Georges Sadoul and was active with the surrealists between 1928 and 1934. During the Second World War he joined the Gaullist resistance. Thiron's autobiography captures the lost period between the wars and the rise in ideological disputes that followed; it is the journal of one man's devotion and disillusionment when the world was changing in revolutionary ways.

1950réf. 9830Munich West Germany 1950. Four original ink drawings on paper various sizes roughly 14x10" up to 20x14". Two are dated "24 X 50" and perhaps from a series with roman numerals IV and V. Another is dated "20 XII 50" and the last simply dated 52. Some light foxing and a few faint stains and smudges corners occasionally bumped. Residue from old adhesive on back of one of the larger images the two smaller pieces matted. Generally very good. A cohesive group of four surrealist ink drawings by Rolf Engler active in West Germany in the early 1950s as both painter and experimental filmmaker associated with the Munich film industry. The drawings dated across the years 1950-1952 fall squarely within the period of Engler's work on the animated short Der Traum in Tusche A Dream in Ink 1952 an abstract animated film employing fluid ink imagery and experimental animation to explore the psychological devastation of war lingering guilt and unresolved trauma through dreamlike and nightmarish forms. The Harvard Film Archive described the work as "an animated fantasy film with nightmarish aspects including not overly allegorical references to the more recent past made by a genius of the FRG animation art." Der Traum in Tusche received a prestigious Bundesfilmpreis in 1953 and was later screened at the Locarno International Film Festival and other such events. Though we have not been able to view the film the present drawings exhibit the same visual language described: surreal figures distorted anatomy and shifting dreamlike forms rendered in bold ink line and fluid drawing techniques that formed the basis of Engler's experimental animated work. Two pieces bear Roman numeral notation suggesting a conceptual or sequential framework consistent with animation-adjacent production methods. We find it very likely these drawings were either used or heavily influential in Traum in Tusche or other projects of Engler's from this time period. We find documents and scripts by Engler held in the Landesrchive in Nordrhein-Westfalen though we have not been able to find examples of his artwork. A rare surviving group of works on paper from the formative years of postwar German experimental animation preserving the hand of an elusive but historically important mid-century artist and filmmaker. . unknown

1924réf. 2729Paris: Imprimerie Croutzet et Depost 1924. First edition. Original wrappers. Very Good. FIRST EDITION of Roche's surreal dadaist roman à clef exposing the misogynistic world of the French avant-garde. With annotations likely in Roche's hand. Like too many women artists of the early twentieth century French writer and artist Juliette Roche 1884 - 1980 has been long overshadowed by her male contemporaries. Roche came of age amidst leading artistic and literary salons of early 20th century Paris. She studied at Académie Ranson then considered the absolute best art school in Paris and was an early adopter of Cubism. However she is most closely associated with Dadaism. Despite Dada being a movement of absolute rebellion it harbored the normalized misogyny of the early twentieth century. Roche's most explicit critique of this discrepancy of rebellion vs repression can be found in La Minéralisation de Dudley Craving Mac Adam her groundbreaking novella. Part satire and part Dada nonsense the thinly veiled roman à clef is a prime example of the daring poetic style that Roche developed while living in New York during World War I. Having watched artistic vanguards come and go in Paris' salons and exhibitions Roche observed the New York City hijinks of Francis Picabia French 1879 - 1953 and Marcel Duchamp 1887 - 1968 with a level of detachment that alluded their American peers. She had close access to Picabia perhaps too close: in 1917 he and his wife Gabrielle Buffet-Picabia moved into an apartment directly beneath one Roche shared with her husband Albert Gleizes a French artist and philosopher who helped popularize Cubism on the Upper West Side. While Roche admired Picabia's iconoclasm she was disturbed by the misogyny she saw in works like his manometres where woman as 'la machine' was at best a manipulable object at worst the butt of a private joke. If taking Roche's ambivalence towards and her neighborly proximity to Picabia into consideration the novella could be inspired in part by an age-old story: pure contempt of one's neighbor. The novella is an indirect indictment of certain illicit behaviors Roche found annoying and dangerous. She synthesizes her fellow expatriates' personalities and physical traits to create the decadent Mac'Adam and the men he encounters on the day of his demise. Picabia becomes Mac'Adam. Swiss writer and boxer Arthur Craven 1887 - 1918 lends his name to the protagonist while becoming Lloyd Willow. Juliette Roche herself appears as Juliette Granite a play on words since roche means rock in French. Roche spins the narrative in poetic and surreal fragments at turns absurd and others told in a stream-of-consciousness style. La Minéralisation moves beyond conventional storytelling to allow readers into the minds of her characters through rich interior monologues revealing in each case her estimation of the particular model's idiosyncrasies. Roche seemed to find the antics of the all-male world of the Dadaists to be too limited and they're wickedly satirized among these pages. Written in ink on the first page is "Publié dans 'La Vie des Lettres' en 1921 / New York 1918" and there are a few words written on page 20 in the same hand. It appears to be Roche's handwriting from the few samples we've seen but we can't guarantee it. Paris: Imprimerie Croutzet et Depost 1924.

1936réf. 2345Paris: Jeanne Bucher 1936. First edition. Original wrappers. Very Good. FIRST EDITION THE PRINTER JACQUES GROU-RADENEZ'S COPY WITH TWO LONG PERSONAL INSCRIPTIONS BY HUGNET. WITH COVER MY MARCEL DUCHAMP. ONE OF ONLY 294 COPIES IN THE EDITION; AN OUT-OF-SERIES COPY LABELED "EXEMPLAIRE NO. G.H.". "This is Georges Hugnet's first volume of 'poemes-decoupages.' The title echoes Andre Mallarme's Un Coup de Des N'Abolira Jamais le hazard 1895 and Hugnet's poems printed on the left-hand pages of the book mirror the unusual spacing and various typefaces and sizes of Un Coup de Des. Hugnet had joined the Surrealists by 1932 and the collages on the right-hand pages centered around nude images cut out of Paris Magazine rehearse typical Surrealist themes. The cover by Marcel Duchamp spells out the title in letters containing the names of a whole Surrealist pantheon including Sade Freud Rimbaud Paracelsus Swift Heraclitus Roussel Chaplin Jarry Uccello and Saint-Juste and also a Man Ray photograph of DuChamp's assisted readymade 'Why Not Sneeze Rrose Sélavy' consisting of 152 marble cubes the size of sugar cubes a thermometer and a cuttlebone inside a small cage" Roth 101 p.92. An extraordinary association copy signed and inscribed twice by Hugnet: On the half-title Hugnet has written a warm inscription dated 1936 the year of publication thanking Grou-Radenez for his work on the book. Beneath that in 1963 he added an additional inscription to the new owner of the book the surrealist photographer Leo Dohmen praising Grou-Radenez who had been arrested and murdered by the Nazi's for hiding Jewish children and aiding the French Resistance.

1968réf. 46364New York 1968. First edition. A very good cop a few corner tape marks and pin pricks folds. 17x 22 inches. Published by Allen Van Newkirk later arrested for holding up a Toys-R-Us store in 2005 and who in the 1960s charged the stage during a Kenneth Koch reading firing a pistol loaded with blanks declaring "death to bourgeois poets" the free newspaper of the streets was an important if short lived publication helping to shape the counterculture’s understanding of surrealism’s relationship to contemporary social movements and is perhaps best summed up by the subtitle of this issue taken from the surrealists' open letter in 1925: “Art matters little to us we profoundly hope that revolutions wars and the colonial insurrections will annihilate this Western civilization whose vermin you defend even in the Orient and we call upon this destruction as the least unacceptable state of things for the mind…We assert that we have found treason and whatever else can harm the security of the State more reconcilable with poetry than the sale of ‘large quantities of lard’ to a nation of pigs and dogs."

1952réf. 362568Paris: Pour l'Unite 1952. A French election poster from ca. 1951 with a connection to the Surrealists from three printed emblems reading "Bulletin NOIR Les Surealistes." Your cataloger's knowledge of French and French politics after the Second World War is not sufficient to offer an analysis of the poster. One suspects it mostly means the opposite of what it says or that it is a sort of word salad of election-style statements without meaning but draw your own conclusions: Pas de paix! Car la voie est ouverte à l'orgueil la cupidité la violence et le mensonge No peace! Because the way is open to pride greed violence and lies. Écartez le candidat qui préconise la lutte de classe.
