A signed and numbered "décollage original" by modernist master Man Ray, on fine paper and issued in an edition of 50 copies, together with a signed and numbered gelatin silver print. Man Ray's preface to Les Invendables, translated from the French: "Les Invendables [The Unsellables]. Why? Because it is the name that is for sale. Without the signature the painting is worthless. You have to take both. There are those who turn the painting over to see if it is good fine linen. The painter holds his brush like the barber his razor, the musician his bow, the soldier his machine gun, this is how they hold their sex to piss or make love. The truth? There is nothing more subversive than the truth." - Man Ray Catalogue published on the occasion of the exhibition Les Invendables at the Galerie Alphonse Chave in Vence, France, in 1969. The catalogue was published in 500 copies, 50 of which, like the copy here on offer, are on fine paper and constitute a "Décollage original" by Man Ray, who has signed and numbered the colophon in pencil. The gelatin print presents an ambiguous image, either skin of a body part close-up, or something like the moon's surface. Illustrations include: Metropolis, 1913; Déjeuner sur l'herbe, 1914; Antipolis (les jumelles), 1939; Incubator, 1943; Le Pont dix, 1953; Observatoire, 1914; Nature morte, 1914; Riegfield, 1913; Oiseau, 1954; and Centaure, 1943, above which is written "Rien ne remplace la vue de l'original." [Nothing replaces seeing the original.] Janus 1973: pag. 13; Janus 1981: pag. 159.
