ARAGON (Louis) - COCTEAU (Jean). Interviews on the Dresden Museum. Paris : Éditions Cercle d'art, [1957]. - In-folio, full grey cloth printed by the publisher. First edition illustrated with numerous reproductions of paintings in black and in color in the text and on full page. Those in color are pasted on. The interview, which occupies the first 139 pages, is followed by notes on the paintings by Pierre and Georgette Gaudibert. Precious copy enriched with this long autograph sending signed by Louis Aragon addressed to Nadia, Fernand Léger's wife, covering almost the whole of the false title: "to Nadia, as a // preface to the "Editions sur le Musée Fernand Léger", // under the eye of the builders who break the crust // with their feet in the void, where there will be "Les Campeurs" // or "Le Cirque" or whatever, and it's a pity // that Fernand didn't see that because, // point of view painting, the North Africans // that makes other colors in the scaffolding, // like it's never finished, the invention, and // now it's you who can say // where dead-nature ends, and where the outside world begins, and all that looks // devilishly, reflects, intersects, like the // pieces of bread, the red wine in the glass, // and the man on the beam // very affectionately // Louis. " Very well preserved copy.
