A complete run of the scarce late Surrealist periodical, the first in the post-War period, resulting from a collaboration between several major figures of the movement, including Victor Brauner, André Breton, Matta, Max Ernst, Jacques Herold, Toyen, et al. Folio (24 1/2 x 15 5/8 inches). Original self-wrappers - each issued printed recto and verso on one large newsprint sheet and folded to form four pages. Some age-darkening and weakness along folds, issue no. 4 with some tears and paper loss along creases, scattered chipping and browning, overall very good. Issues 2 and 3 present in duplicate. Paris: Librairie de Hune, 1948-1949.

This large-format and short-lived Surrealist periodical contains Surrealist texts, typography, and images juxtaposed throughout. A fascinating and little-known serial, with a distinct visual style showcasing work by many of the most important figures in post-War Surrealism. In addition to the figures named above, there are contributions by Sarane Alexandrian, Alain Jouffroy, Marcel Lecomte, Jindrich Heisler, Alfred Jarry, Marcel Jean, and Stanislas Rodanski; the "Typoplastique" is by Fredrick Kiesler. Due to the nature of the paper stock, N.E.O.N is inherently fragile; the copy we offer here has some browning and minor tearing but in general is in excellent condition.
