André BRETON, Paul ELUARD, et al.
 |
Breton, André, Eluard, Paul, et al. Dictionnaire Abrégé du Surréalisme, Galerie Beaux-Arts, Paris, 1938, 76 pp., in very fine condition, with a few minor defects to the cover and spine, the present copy complete with the rare 8-page prospectus of the accompanying exhibition held at the gallery in January-February 1938.
The 1938 Exposition Internationale du Surréalisme, with the famous series of lavishly decorated mannequins and Marcel Duchamp's 1200 sacks of coal suspended from the ceiling of the gallery, was arguably one of the most important art exhibitions of the last century, and this collective volume consecrated the show. Yves Tanguy's famous cover drawing for the dictionary is furthermore a remarkable example of surrealist illustration. |
Max ERNST

Ernst, Max. Une Semaine de Bonté / ou / Les Sept Elements Capitaux / Roman / Premier Cahier / Dimanche / Element : / La Boue / Exemple : / Le Lion de Belfort, éditions Jeanne Bucher, Paris, 1934 There is some discoloration and slight scuffing and staining on the cover, with 32 pages bound in the volume (all in excellent condition), plus an additional 13 loose sheets (11 printed with the images recto/verso and 2 printed recto only, some of which are doubles of the album itself). Most of these additional
sheets seem to be printer's working proofs, with some smudges,
traces of glue, pinholes in the corners, and occasional annotations.

This rare composite volume (numbered "Exemplaire N° 30") is a pastiche of 17th-century hermetic treatises on alchemy, using a collage technique that Ernst had already experimented in reassembling turn-of-the-century wood engravings from popular magazines to produce some of the most striking surrealist images of the movement. It has a renowned provenance, from the library of the French surrealist poet, Paul Eluard (annotated "Exemplaire de Paul Eluard. C.G." inside the cover by the expert Christian Galantaris). |
