PICASSO, Pablo (1881-1973) et Georges HUGNET (1906-1974)
Petite anthologie poétique du surréalisme. Paris : Éditions Jeanne Bucher, 1934.

Exemplaire de tête, avec l'eau-forte originale de Picasso, celle-ci rehaussée de deux papiers collés par l'artiste.

De la bibliothèque du poète surréaliste belge E.L.T. Mesens, dont trois textes sont repris dans l'ouvrage.

Parmi les 28 épreuves, toutes tirées par Picasso, certaines sont imprimées en couleurs ou rehaussées de collages de papier. L'introduction de Georges Hugnet revient sur le mouvement Dada pour éclairer la naissance du surréalisme, qu'il définit comme un courant "expérimental, scientifique, continuant poétiquement l'effort de libération entrepris par Lautréamont et Rimbaud, cherchant sa voie à travers la psychologie et la philosophie, se préocuppant de donner une solution aux problèmes en suspens et un sens à la vie." S'ensuivent des textes de grandes figures du Surréalisme, largement illustrés de reproductions d'oeuvres et de "l'échiquier surréaliste" de Man Ray, représentant les artistes du cercle surréaliste parisien. Goeppert-Cramer, n° 22.

In-12 (193 x 141 mm). Édition originale. Un des 28 exemplaires du tirage de tête, les seuls à comporter la gravure de Picasso, celui-ci l'un des 8 hors-commerce, marqué "H.C.", signé par l'artiste à la justification. Illustré d'une eau-forte originale de Pablo Picasso en frontispice, "Baigneuses au ballon. II", rehaussée par l'artiste de deux papiers collés dont un timbre "Exprès", et de nombreuses reproductions photographiques hors-texte en noir et blanc. Broché, non coupé, sous couverture imprimée de l'éditeur rempliée. (couverture passée en marge supérieure)

Provenance : E.L.T. Mesens (1903-1971)
