Le Mythe Tragique de L'Angelus de Millet

Paris, France, Jean-Jacques Pauvert, 1963. Special Limited Edition. Hardcover. Size: Large 8vo 9" - 10. A truly fine exemplar of the Special Limited Edition of only 100 copies printed by Societe d'Impressions Publicitiaires in October of 1963. Table Des Matieres at book's end, with Prologue, I Partie, II Partie, III Partie, with Appendice et Notes. Epigraph reads "Le scenario 'secret' le plus bouleversant pour selui qui osera le film le plus ambitieux." Translated: "The most upsetting 'secret' scenario for him who dares to make the most ambitious film." From the personal library of Dr. Sue Taylor, noted Professor Emerita of Portland State University, Hans Bellmer expert, and lecturer-extraordinaire, but ultimately from the personal library of her friend, the fine-art curator and impresario, Don Baum (1922 – October 28, 2008) and who purchased the item straight from the publisher. Baum was an American curator, artist and educator, according to his Wikipedia entry, "most known as a key impresario and promoter of the Chicago Imagists, a group of artists that had an enduring impact on American art in the later twentieth century." Taylor asserted that Baum was known for "lively and irreverent" exhibitions and that blended elements of popular culture with those of Surrealism. He enabled artists such as "Ed Paschke, Jim Nutt, Roger Brown, Gladys Nilsson, and Karl Wirsum" (Wikipedia). This exemplar is bound in an attractive, Imperial octavo format featuring oatmeal sailcloth over boards, measuring 10 3/4" by 8 1/2" tall and wide, respectively, augmented with a black-and-white reproduction of a Millet painting, inset, barely abraded, typed paper label to front cover, and with original cloth belt and clasp fully intact. Twenty-eight tipped-in images, several in full-page, a couple in full-page format, evincing inventive use of post-cards from the past, some being mildly scurrilous, others being of grasshopper proboscisces. The inset Millet painting reproduction at front cover is repeated again and again and again at verso of many leaves of fine typescript; the font-bite is a bit faint here and there but still easy to read. The most representative exemplar of Dali's "paranoiac-critical method," say art critics; all French-language text. Laid in loosely are two invitations from the publisher, Editions Jean-Jacques Pauvert, in effect, invitations to receive their catalogues periodically. All in, a fairly arresting exemplar of an unusual S.D. item and with tight provenance and valuable association. 105 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .
