Man Ray - Lot 93
Man Ray 3 autograph letters signed to Henri Parisot. 4 pp. in-4. Hollywood, Dec. 1947 - January 1948. "Since my return from Paris, I must confess that I feel rather weary. In spite of all the advantages here - good weather, quiet, physical well-being, etc., I have tasted the life I have been accustomed to for so long and can only think of returning."

But Paul does not write often [...]. I will always be ready to collaborate in a surrealist review, as I will never change my opinion on the value and importance of Breton, and if he wants me, I will give something. Nevertheless I must say that I have abandoned the idea that my things are subversive [...]. Breton was a little angry at me for having exhibited at the Autumn Salon, and I explained myself in this way. I was assured that I would not go through the jury, and that's why I accepted. I am innocent of any calculation [...]". "For your review "Superior Inconnu", I can think of nothing better than to send you at this moment my imaginary portrait of Sade (the second version made in California on Sade's 200th birthday). You can, or Breton can add a suitable or unsuitable text [...]".
