WITH A HAND CORRECTION BY BRETON

(Breton, Andre)
Svanberg, Max Walter
MAX WALTER SVANBERG/LA FEMME DU VIKING
Paris: A L'etoile Scellee, 1955
26 x 20.5cm. 4pp.  The scarce catalogue for Svanberg's exhibition of 27 paintings (all listed). Two b/w reproductions. The design of the catalogue includes a heart-shaped cut-out allowing one image to be seen through the cover - and as always from this gallery, the catalogue is a standout of 50s design. Throughout, there is a lengthy text by Breton which contains a mistake which has been hand-corrected by the surrealist leader although this is in truth rather minimal: merely correcting a tense. This brochure was obtained indirectly from Breton's own collection. A very good+ example of this ephemeral piece although there is some unavoidable fading of the green paper on the back cover.
