MAN RAY - PRASSINOS (Gisèle). La Sauterelle arthritique. Preface by Paul Eluard and a photograph by Man Ray pasted on the frontispiece. P., GLM, "Douze", 1935, 8°, br. with hand-painted openwork case. Original edition printed at 125 copies, numbered 1/25 on Normandy vellum. Sixth booklet of the "Twelve" collection, each printed at 125 copies. The collection opens with a famous photograph by Man Ray, which represents the surrealist group around Prassinos: J.-M. Prassinos, Breton, Parisot, Eluard, Péret and Char, in 1934. It was in 1934 that Mario Prassinos introduced his young sister, then aged fourteen, to the Surrealists, to whom she read texts composed according to the automatic method, which would earn her recognition and consecration. Thus André Breton will publish some texts of the precocious girl in the review Minotaure. "La Sauterelle arthritique" was her first collection.
