Stein, Gertrude. (1874-1946) [Hugnet, Georges. (1906-1974)] [Tzara, Tristan. (1896-1963)]. Morceaux Choisis de La Fabrication des Américains [The Making of Americans] - INSCRIBED BY GEORGES HUGNET TO TRISTAN TZARA . Paris: Éditions de la Montagne. 1929.
One of the first books published by Éditions de la Montagne, which had been founded the same year by Hugnet. Although attributed to Hugnet, the translation was actually made by Virgil Thomson and Stein herself. The edition was the first publication of one of Stein's works in translation.
Georges Hugnet, French poet and critic, was born in Paris in 1906. A man of many talents, he dabbled in a variety of artistic pursuits including poetry, editing, publishing, translating, film and play writing, acting, rare book collecting, and book binding design throughout his life. His many artistic friends included Joan Miró, Marcel Duchamp, Pablo Picasso, Tristan Tzara, Man Ray, and Jean Cocteau. With financial backing from his father, a furniture manufacturer, Hugnet established the publishing company Les Editions de la Montagne with the intent of publishing his own works and the work of his close friends including Tristan Tzara, Pierre de Massot, and Gertrude Stein. It was Virgil Thomson who introduced Gertrude Stein and Hugnet in 1926. Stein and Hugnet had a short-lived but intense relationship, lasting until 1930.
French edition of excerpts from Stein's The Making of Americans, translated and with a preface by Georges Hugnet and signed and inscribed on the half-title by Hugnet to the Romanian and French avant-garde poet Tristan Tzara. 8to. Softcover. 122 pp. From an edition of 302 copies, this copy not numbered. A fine uncut copy, inscribed to Tristan Tzara by Hugnet (translated from the French): "To my dear Tristan Tzara on behalf of Gertrude, this little book excerpted from a very big one, with all my best, Georges Hugnet, St Malo, June 1929." Also included are three copies of an order form for the book. Light toning to the covers, some slight dents to the edges and very small losses to the spine.
From the collection of Myrtille Hugnet, acquired upon the sale of Tristan Tzara's collection.
