1929 was a surrealist publication by Louis Aragon and Benjamin Péret, with photographs such as Automne by Man Ray.
The extremely rare collaboration 1929 was published in an effort to raise funds for E. L. T. Mesens' Surrealist magazine Variétés and features explicit texts by Louis Aragon and Benjamin Péret illustrated with even more explicit photographs by Man Ray.
Extreme Surrealist Erotica, a 2009 reprint states: "Published anonymously, the book was printed in Belgium in an edition of 215 copies. Seized by French customs, most copies of 1929 were destroyed as obscene, particularly due to the four hardcore Man Ray photographs featuring Kiki of Montparnasse, the muse of many surrealists. These images are generally omitted from catalogues of the photographer’s works."
