EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant piece of correspondence between two artistic giants, Paul Eluard and Man Ray. The letter, written in 1935, showcases Eluard's admiration for the achievement of Facile, a work by Man Ray. Executed with pen and ink on paper, this personal artifact offers a glimpse into the surrealist movement that both artists were deeply involved in. The image reveals Eluard's distinctive handwriting and autograph, adding an intimate touch to this historical document. As one of the most prominent poets of his time, Eluard's words hold great significance within the literary world. Likewise, Man Ray's reputation as an influential American photographer further elevates the importance of this exchange. The surreal nature of their collaboration is evident through their choice to correspond via handwritten letters rather than traditional means. This unique approach underscores the unconventional spirit that defined their artistry. Preserved within a private collection and now made available through Christie's Images, this print allows us to appreciate not only the content but also the visual aesthetics present in these handwritten lines. It serves as a testament to both artists' enduring legacies and provides valuable insight into their creative processes. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder without compromising its authenticity or commercializing its use.
