Picabia, Francis Autograph manuscript entitled Understanding the Illusion of Joseph and Mary. S. l. n. d. [1950]. 31 p. on 29 ff. in 2 booklets in-8 (21.6 x 17.2 cm), bound. Autograph manuscript abundantly corrected by Francis Picabia entitled Compréhension de l'illusion Joseph et Marie. This humorous text was written in 1950, in the vein of Jesus Christ Rastaquouère published thirty years earlier. In this little tale in three chapters, Mary and Joseph, Pierre de Massot and Verlaine meet at the Paris Fair or at the Galeries Lafayette. Picabia deals with themes dear to Dada: sexuality and illusion. Uncut leaves, stains, dirty margins.
