ALECHINSKY, Pierre (né en 1927) et Joyce MANSOUR (1928-1986)
Carré blanc. Paris : Le soleil noir, 1965.

Exemplaire de tête comprenant une suite de cinq eaux-fortes signées par l'artiste. Cinq ans après la publication de Rapaces, la poétesse surréaliste signe un quatrième recueil de poésie où "haine et désir s'enchevêtrent dans des vers provocants et cruels". Volontairement transgressive, sa prose "marque une sorte de révolte, essentiellement féminine, contre le despotisme sexuel de l’homme, qui fait souvent de l’érotisme sa création exclusive." (Alain Jouffroy) C'est par André Breton, dédicataire de l'ouvrage, que Mansour fera la connaissance d'Alechinsky. Dictionnaire des oeuvres érotiques, p. 86.

In-8 (195 x 143 mm), broché, non coupé, sous couverture rempliée. Édition originale. Un des 80 exemplaires de tête sur vélin d'Arches (n° 64) présentés sous un emboitage animé, comprenant une suite de cinq eaux-fortes d'Alechinsky, signées et numérotées, ainsi qu'un poème inédit de Joyce Mansour tiré sur japon nacré et disparaissant dans le mécanisme de l'emboitage, ne laissant alors voir qu'un carré blanc. Envoi autographe signé, illustré d'un dessin original de l'autrice : "pour Georges Brun, ce profil général du canal blanc et noir de mes pensées, avec l'amitié souriante de Joyce Mansour, Paris le 7 novembre 1969". Notre exemplaire s'accompagne du bulletin de souscription pour la publication de l'ouvrage. Étui d'éditeur.
