Louis ARAGON.

Strange scene in modern life. No place or date [circa 1923]. Original signed collage enhanced with ink and pencil, mounted on a sheet bearing the legend, a shipment and the signature of Louis Aragon (collage : 152 x 140 mm ; support : 226 x 206 mm). Precious original collage of Louis Aragon bearing an autograph signed consignment : to André Breton, L.A. On the photograph of a classic bedroom, Louis Aragon has pasted a fantasy character and a chandelier. The collage dates from the early 1920s, at the time of the Surrealism Manifesto and A Wave of Dreams, the two founding essays of Surrealism. A collage made by its first promoter. In 1930, Aragon published La Peinture au défi, a seminal text setting out his vision of the "modern marvel", in response to Nadja: it contained one of the first analyses of collage in the field of the plastic arts. Folds and traces of glue.
