1947réf. 179710New York: 1947. An original brochure for this classic surrealist film. It features items from each of the film's collaborators: Max Ernst Fernand Leger Man Ray Marcel Duchamp Alexander Calder and the director Hans Richter. Richter began the project in 1944 after receiving a $6000 grant from Peggy Guggenheim. In an interview with the New York Times Richter stated "I started the picture as an adventure. But I knew one thing that was important. That is in cinematography we have scratched only the surface of the art and that there are thousands of other possibilities in film. I felt that both modern art and the movies are an expression of our time and that it would be interesting to combine the two." Octavo. Photographic portraits and reproductions from the film in the text throughout. Original green wrappers printed in black after a design by Max Ernst. A fine copy. Ezra Goodman "Musical Fantasy Filmed in Manhattan Loft" New York Times 11 April 1948. unknown

1961réf. 89467Paris: Le Terrain Vague 1961-65. Eight octavo digest-size issues. Pictorial wrappers printed in colors; each issue ca. 124-132pp; illus; ads. Gentle rubbing and soil to most issues but in all a complete attractive and perfectly sound run easily Very Good. Text entirely in French. Breton's final periodical venture a continuation of sorts of his long succession of Surrealist journals that included La Révolution Surréaliste 1924-1929 Surréalisme au Service de la Revolution 1930-1933 and Minotaure 1933-1939. La Brêche is the definitive journal of late-period Surrealism very much pointing the way towards the movements - Pop Art Situationism Abstract Expressionism etc - that would soon supplant it. The journal ceased publication in November 1965 presumably due to Breton's declining health; he would die in September 1966. Beyond Breton himself who contributes at least one article to every issue the list of contributors to La Brêche is impressive including Radovan Asvic Jean-Claude Barbé Robert Benayoun Alain Joubert J.-F. Revel Pierre Alechinsky Joyce Mansour Annie Lebrun and many others. GERSHMAN p.48. Le Terrain Vague unknown

1934réf. 88369Paris: Gallimard 1934. First French Edition. Octavo. 19cm. Publisher's cream colored card wraps titled in black and red to spine and front cover. Glassine dustjacket. 251pp.;1. Strong and tight a little soiling and marginal wear to the wraps and some staining and discoloration to the glassine jacket; internally clean ownership signatures of Monique Fong and Michel Tavriger to the front flyleaf dated 1949 and 1950 numerous collage additions to the text throughout. A very good copy with some fascinating artistic additions from the early surrealist movement. From the library of Nathaniel Tarn noted poet translator and anthropologist who during the period 1945-1950 was resident in Paris living and working under the name Michel Tavriger before adopting the name Nathaniel Tarn Tarn being the name of a French river. He was intimate with a large swath of Parisian artistic intelligentsia including Breton Octavio Paz photographer Serge Jacques and surrealist muse and intellectual powerhouse Monique Fong. In all probability he was most likely also a member of the surrealist ex-Vichy collaborationist "Cercle D'Etudes Metaphysiques" presided over by Raymond Abellio Bernard Noel Raymond De Becker and the like who numbered Cocteau and Jean Paulhan among their friends and contributors. Improvised collage is a factor of several branches of Fong's correspondence with friends like John Cage so it is most probably that the photographic collage elements inserted into the volume are the work of Fong. They are mostly black and white clippings from fashion or art magazines mostly occupied with nudes with several pages devoted simply to naked breasts they range in complexity from a simple uneven clipping to a rather more complex arrangement of vertically sliced elements arranged together covering a whole page to the rear of the volume. Fong stated in an interview before her death: "I'm a very rare person at this point. Not because I'm 95 but because I think there are only three people left in this world who have known both Breton and Octavio Paz. I was a member of the Surrealist group as was Nathaniel Tarn - under another name at the time - when we were 23 24 something like that. And all of our contemporaries died before the age of 70 which is really not old. There are very few survivors. If you knew Octavio Paz you did not necessarily live in France. People knew him in Mexico in India in the States. I'm pretty sure that the only people to know both Paz and Breton are at this point Jean-Clarence Lambert Nathaniel Tarn and me." https://caesuramag.org/posts/interview-with-monique-fong-surrealism.

1936réf. 48773London.: New Burlington Galleries. 1936. Original publisher's pink stapled wrappers with printed collage by Max Ernst to front cover later protective crystal wrappers. 8vo. 155 x 240 mm. Leaf with advertisements recto and verso leaf with title recto and committee and contributors verso leaf with advertisement recto and preface by André Breton translated by David Gascoyne verso and on following leaf leaf with advertisements recto and verso leaf with explanatory note and catalogue of exhibitors and their works in alphabetical order final leaf with printers' credit verso. Gaston Ferdière's presentation copy of the scarce catalogue for the ambitious and highly influential International Surrealist Exhibition held in London in 1936 signed by a number of the participants.Presented by Mesens in red ink: 'Exemplaire de Gaston Ferdière' and beneath the signatures of André Breton in green Hans Arp in pencil Roland Penrose in blue ink Claude Cahun in blue grey Sheila Legge Rupert Lee and David Gascoyne all in sepia Paul Eluard in black ink and Man Ray in pencil; the following leaf with advertisements and adjacent to the details of the committee list of contributors etc. features an inscription in black ink by Conroy Maddox: 'Refused to participate / Conroy Maddox'.Gaston Ferdière was a controversial figure a Surrealist-affiliated poet who published verse in the mid-1930s a doctor who administered to the Spanish Republicans in the Spanish Civil War and a psychiatrist lauded and criticised for the electroshock therapy he administered to Antonin Artaud in the 1940s before Artaud's suicide in March 1948. Ferdière was a friend of Breton Crevel Desnos and Péret later Hans Bellmer and Unica Zûrn who he also treated and was anathemised by Isou another patient and the Lettrists along with psychiatrists and psychiatry in totality. At the titme of the London Surrealist Exhibition Ferdière had published a small handful of verse collections: 'L'Herbier' 1926 'La Chanson Fruste' 1927 'Ma Sébile' 1931 and 'Paix sur la Terre - Poèmes pour les Théâtres Prolétariens d'Action Contre la Guerre' 1936. 'No one personifies the thorny entanglement between modernism and the science of the soul better than Dr. Gaston Ferdière the psychiatrist who administered no less than 58 electroshock treatments to the Surrealist playwright Antonin Artaud during the Second World War. Determined to reconcile poetry and medicine Ferdière had studied under 'Professor Claude' - target of Breton’s anti-psychiatric rants - at Sainte-Anne while at the same time passing as a 'star of Surrealism in the bistros' of Paris in the mid-1930s . By the time Artaud showed up on his doorstep at Rodez psychiatric hospital Ferdiére had long since abandoned his poetic aspirations. Yet his old interests were rekindled in long conversations with the Surrealist playwright whose talents he sought to revive by a combination of 'art therapy' - writing drawing translating Lewis Carroll’s 'Through the Looking Glass' - and shock treatments - six courses ranging from 4 to 13 sessions each between June 20th 1943 and January 24th 1945. Electroshock was still in its experimental phase - the machine had hardly rolled in the door at Rodez - and the convulsions were so severe that Artaud fractured a vertebra in his neck during one of the treatments.' Kevin Repp.The International Surrealist Exhibition was held at the New Burlington Galleries from 11 June - 4 July 1936 organised by committees from England France Belgium and Scandinavia. The scale and range of works from artists was highly impressive see a list of exhibiting artists below and London was acting alongside Paris and New York in focusing on the new movement. In the same year Alfred Barr opened a show at the Museum of Modern Art New York entitled 'Fantastic Art Dada and Surrealism' and Paris' 'Cahiers d'Art' journal then at the height of its influence had devoted a whole issue to the Surrealist object. The exhibition comprising of some 390 works painting sculpture drawing and objects was opened by André Breton to some two thousand people thereafter averaging a footfall of one thousand people per day. Lectures were delivered throughout the exhibition and included Salvador Dali's presentation from within a deep-sea diving suit which needless to say put a strain on his respiratory system and resulted in his being rescued by the young poet David Gascoyne with a spanner.It is also significant that one of the most legendary moments of the exhibition was the performance by Sheila Legge who stood in the middle of Trafalgar Square in a white wedding dress inspired by a Dali painting her head obscured by a floral arrangement prefiguring Feminist and Fluxus performances of some 20 years later.Exhibiting artists included Eileen Agar Jean Arp Eugène Atget Hans Bellmer Jacques-André Boiffard Bill Brandt Victor Brauner Fanny Brennan Emmy Bridgwater Luis Buñuel Claude Cahun Leonora Carrington Ithell Colquhoun Gala Dalí Salvador Dalí Jean Dallaire Paul Delvaux Óscar Domínguez Christian Dotremont Marcel Duchamp Marcel Duhamel Curt Echtermeyer Max Ernst Leonor Fini Gordon Onslow Ford Esteban Francés Alberto Giacometti Julio González Jane Graverol Jacques Hérold Valentine Hugo Frida Kahlo Wifredo Lam Jacqueline Lamba Dora Maar Conroy Maddox René Magritte Georges Malkine Marcel Mariën André Masson Roberto Matta Mikuláš Medek Oscar Mellor John Melville E.
