The first publication of a rayograph. This issue of Les Feuilles Libres contains the first publication of one of Man Ray's rayographs, preceding Les Champs Délicieux (1922) by several months. In the accompanying text, 'An Open Letter to M. Man Ray, American Photographer,' Jean Cocteau writes that with the rayographs, Man Ray has 'accomplished an ironic reversal of the avant-garde axiom according to which photography has freed painters from the task of realistic representation, thus enabling them to pursue abstraction' (translated in Photography in the Modern Era 1).
Serial publication; 8vo (220 x 183 mm, 8¾ x 7¼ in); illustrations based on drawings by Picasso within the text, and a laid in plate with a tipped in Rayograph by Man Ray printed in relief halftone, texts by Marcel Proust, Jean Cocteau, Max Jacob, Max Ernst and Paul Eluard, Jean Epstein, Blaise Cendrars, André Lhote, and others, light foxing to preliminary and end pages; white printed wrappers, text in black, light wear with professional repair; [ii], [82]pp (numbered 75-156).
