PERET Benjamin. LE SALON D'AUTOMNE. Autograph manuscript. - Lot 118
PERET Benjamin. LE SALON D'AUTOMNE. Autograph manuscript. The Autumn Salon. Published in Feuilles Libres n°24, October-November 1922. Autograph manuscript in black ink, 2 pages. Violent criticism of the 1922 Salon d'Automne, to which Péret gives a mark of 1 out of 20. He sees only "monuments to the dead" and no modernity. The manuscript is not quite identical to the published text, and above all, a 9-line passage devoted to Francis Picabia's painting La nuit espagnole is missing, in which Péret comments on a visitor's interpretation of it as "obscene painting, barely organized".
