Man Ray La photographie n'est pas l'art. 12 photographies avant-propos de André Breton Paris GLM (Guy Lévis Mano) 1937. "One of the most enigmatic yet advanced of all hist books" (M. Parr/G. Badger) Erste Ausgabe. "La Photographie n'est pas l'art is one of the most enigmatic yet advanced of all his books. The images are set off against a typical nonsense 'text' by the founder of Surrealism André Breton .. This remarkle little book, a return Man Ray's Dada roots, presages the postmodern artist's photobook in terms of its self-refllexive attitude and complex referential twists and turns. It can be taken as a summation of his experiments in photography, am might be said to be his photographic swansong" (Parr/Badger). EINBAND: Orig.-Umschlag. 25 : 16 cm. - ILLUSTRATION: Mit 12 Tafeln nach Fotografien von Man Ray. - ZUSTAND: Leicht gebäunt. Einband beschädigt.
