Description:
Paris: The Black Sun Press. 1931. First edition. First edition. A rare, inscribed presentation copy from Max Ernst to James Stern. Publisher's black buckram, decorated in gilt to a design by Max Ernst. Illustrated with 19 original photograms by Max Ernst, each with a glassine guard, with the title printed in red. Black endpapers. Housed in a bespoke quarter morocco solander case. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with rubbing and fraying at the spine tips and corners. The contents are entirely complete, clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. This work is a fragment from Crevel's novel Babylone. The 19 photograms of Ernst's frottages were completed with the collaboration of Man Ray in his studio after days of trials, with Ernst's rubbings on transparent paper serving as the negative. Ernst had developed his frottage technique as a visual counterpart to the Surrealist ideal of "automatic writing," and the dark visions he produces here perfectly…

Description:
Paris: The Black Sun Press, 1931. First edition. Translated by Kay Boyle. [8], 38, [8] pp. Publisher's black cloth boards, decorated in elaborate gilt and blind, designed by Ernst in collaboration with A.J. Gonon. Nineteen photograms with tissue guards, with text printed in red. One of 200 copies on "finest bristol paper," of a total edition of 255 copies. Some minor wear to head and tail of spine, faint old tidemark to lower corner of leaves, near fine. Housed in a custom modern slipcase. A major surrealist collaboration. Crevel's text was the first chapter of his novel Babylone, translated by Kay Boyle at the request of Black Sun publisher Caresse Crosby. The nineteen photograms (or cliché-verres) illustrating the book were produced using a similar process to Man Ray's rayographs. Ernst's images were made by combining textural rubbings and line drawings on sheets of thin translucent paper, and then using those sheets as negatives to create a reverse image on photosensitive paper. These were then…

Description:
Paris: Black Sun Press,, 1931. Dark visions of death and desire" - a stunning example of the Black Sun Press's work First edition, sole printing, number 27 of 50 copies signed by Crevel on the half-title and Ernst on the frontispiece and printed on Hollande paper, from a total edition of 255 copies. This is one of the most celebrated books of the Black Sun Press and a cornerstone of Surrealist literature. Crevel was a student of 18th-century rationalism "when he encountered the surrealists and, joining this group of iconoclasts, came to believe that Reason had betrayed the mind" (Balakian). He was infamous for instigating group seances and hypnotic sleep sessions, with participants including André Breton and Robert Desnos. Despite Surrealism's secular roots, the group's desire to liberate imagination from the confines of reason owed a significant debt to Western Esotericism. However, after Crevel's attempt to orchestrate a group suicide and an incident involving Desnos and a carving knife, Breton…
