Letters sent and photographs, 1954-1963.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/79257284

Eighty-four letters and cards written by Guy Debord and his wife Michele Bernstein to Marcel Mariën, dating from 1954 to 1963. Most of the letters relate to the publication of articles in Mariën's journal Les Lèvres nues. Debord sends editorial suggestions, submits articles, updates Mariën on bookstore inventories and sales, and discusses his own journal Potlatch. Debord peppers his letters with comments and rumors regarding artistic and political subjects, including Breton and the surrealists, the boycott of the 1956 avant-garde show in Marseille and Stalin's rise to power. Mariën and Debord's close relationship terminated in 1957, the year Debord formed the Internationale Situationniste group.
