About This Item
1937. MAN RAY. Les Mains Libres. By Paul Eluard. 208 pp., with 66 reproductions of drawings by Man Ray. 4to, 280 x 225 mm., bound in the original illustrated wrappers, in a new slipcase with morocco backed chemise. Paris: Editions Jeanne Bucher, 1937. A pristine copy of this celebrated collaboration between Man Ray and Paul Eluard, inscribed by Man Ray to Souzouki. Man Ray had moved to Paris in 1921 and in the 1930's was one of André Breton's surrealist circles. Unlike most illustrated books where the pictures illustrate the text, this book uses the poems to illustrate the drawings, which are important documents of Man Ray's non-photographic output. One of 650 printed on Chester Vergé of a total edition of 675 copies. From Manet to Hockney 104.
