Georges BATAILLE. *L’Archangélique*. Paris, Messages, 1944. In-12, paperback, cloth-bound cover, green-grey paper slipcase. First edition. Limited edition of 113 unnumbered copies not for sale: one of the 100 from Auvergne (no. 54). A precious autographed dedication on the half-title page: to Dora Maar, / who was the first to tell me / that my poems were beautiful and that / I ought to write more, / faithfully / Georges Bataille In the 1930s, bound by artistic and ideological concerns, Georges Bataille and Dora Maar had an affair. The writer’s unique world was to exert an influence on Dora Maar’s work, which straddled eroticism and surrealism. (Les Livres de Dora Maar, 1998, no. 217.) Slightly warped, with minor pinholes on the cover.
