Negative. Translated and edited, with an Afterword by Karl Orend

Toronto: Editions Carrefour Alyscamps, 2019. 18/30 numbered copies, signed by the translator. 62 pls. & ills. (43 in color). [93] pp. Dark orange paper covers printed in black; dustjacket of decorated, dark brown, handmade paper with applied title label. Staple-bound. About 21.5 x 17 cm. This is the first publication, in English, of Levis-Mano's texts of 1936 (?) and 1938. He was closely associated with the Surrealists. Under the imprint G.L.M. he published Eluard's and Man Ray's Facile, Breton's Au Lavoir noir, Hans Bellmer's La Poupée, Tristan Tzara's Ramures, Eluard's Les Yeux fertiles (with illustrations by Picasso), Man Ray's Photographie n'est pas l'art, and many other landmarks of Surrealist and modern French literature. He was a skilled typographer and designer. Karl Orend's Afterword gives this nearly forgotten figure his due. Several other publications from the same source are available. As new. Item #90401
