LA PEINTURE AU DEFI. Exposition de Collages: Arp, Braque, Duchamp, Ernst, Gris, Magritte, Man Ray, Miro, Picabia, Picasso, Tanguy. Text: Louis Aragon.
Paris: Librarie Jose Corti, 1930
19.7 x 14.4cm. 32pp. 23 b/w reproductions after photo montage and collage works by the participating artists. Original wrappers. First edition of the catalogue for this important exhibition (Galerie Goemans, 1930). A convincing collective argument against the exclusionary aesthetic practices of the school of so-called 'pure painting', as represented via Aragon's introductory text and the works exhibited. One of 1, 000 unnumbered examples after a 'du tete' of 20. Minor sunning/browning to boards near the spine, else in near fine estate. Increasingly scarce.
