Ubu Roi is one of Joan Miró's most celebrated artist's books in which he transforms Alfred Jarry's absurd and satirical drama into a vibrant visual language of explosive color expressive forms and surreal imagery. The central character Père Ubu created by Jarry embodies greed deception and the abuse of power becoming a lasting symbol of political and social corruption.

Both the Spanish artist Joan Miro and the French poet Robert Desnos were prominent figures in the Surrealist movement in Paris where they met in 1925. Miro had long planned to illustrate a book by Desnos but the project was delayed by the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War and subsequently the Second World War in which Desnos was an active member of the French Resistance. He was arrested by the Gestapo in 1944 and sent to several concentration camps including Auschwitz and Buchenwald. Desnos survived the war only to die of typhoid a few weeks after the liberation of the camp where he was held. Nearly thirty years later Desnos' widow approached Miro with the idea of illustrating his works again. In the end they settled on Pénalités de l'enfer ou les nouvelles Hébrides The Penalties of Hell or The New Hebrides Desnos' first work in prose written in Morocco in 1922. Mourlot 959-90; Cramer 188.

'.The following page features Paalen's poem 'Mercure éteint' in blue ink. 'Mercure Eteint' was published in Paalen's 1941 collection 'Noir Animal'; here Paalen has dated the poem 'Mexico San Angel / Nuit du 29 mai 1940'. The lines quoted at the foot of the presentation i.e. 'Rendez-vous de rivière . ' is from 'Les Appelants' which also features in 'Noir Animal'. A shortened version of the same quotation appears in a copy of 'Noir Animal' given by Paalen to André and Jacquéline Breton and their daughter Aube.The Sonia of Paalen's enigmatic presentation is the painter Sonja or Sonia Sekula 1918 - 1963 the Swiss-born New York-based Abstract Expressionist painter like Paalen she was also a poet and friend to the Surrealists in exile. Sekula knew Paalen in the 1940s - she remained married to Wolfgang Paalen until 1947 - and the pair had a short-lived but passionate affair: 'During a visit to the Onslow Fords in Morelia Alice had met and fallen in love with the Swiss artist Sonja Sekula who had exhibited in the group show '31 Women' at Peggy Guggenheim in 1943 and was now associated with the 'Indian Space' group in New York around Peter Busa. The two lived an open love affair . ' see Andreas Neufert's biography of Wolfgang Paalen. The presentation detailed above is also listed with the additional detail that Alice and Sonja's relationship had ended by August 1945.Alice Paalen 1904 - 1987 née Phillipot and later Rahon her mother's maiden name Surrealist poet and painter married the Austrian Surrealist Wolfgang Paalen in 1930. She participated in Surrealist activities during the early 1930s and had a significant liaison with Picasso before the publication of her first collection of poetry in 1936 A Mème La Terre the same year that she went to India with fellow poet and Surrealist Valentine Penrose. Further collections followed including the present volume Sablier Couché with the two poems 'Sablier Couché' and 'Muttra' and Noir Animal 1941 before she turned her attention to painting and changed her surname to Rahon. Many of Paalen's presentations feature quotations from her own poems as here.Cramer 5; see Andreas Neufert's 'Paalen: Life and Work Vol. 2 Under the Volcano: The DYN Project and Exile in Mexico 1939 - 1959' Norderstedt 2023 pp. 198 - 199.

Limited edition one of 25 copies reserved for collaborators Rare surrealist illustrations by miro; a key text of the Theatre of the Absurd This portfolio illustrates the play 'Ubu Roi' by the French writer Alfred Jarry that premiered in 1896 and was part of the genre of the Theatre of the Absurd which thrilled the Surrealists and Dadaist. It was adopted not only by Miró but also by other artists such as Max Ernst or Man Ray. Miró chose to create thirteen large colourful double-page lithographs for his 1966 illustrations of the play employing imagery that is characteristically biomorphic and humorous in keeping with themes of the play. The prints however are vividly coloured and finished and are perhaps slightly more painterly than most of Miró's graphic work. Paris, Tériade, 1966. unknown
