Local DescriptionReview: Tristan Tzara was like me, like Socrates, like Chateaubriand - a very small, fat and very ugly man, but with incredible charm! -- Fernando Arrabal
Author Biography: Tristan Tzara was the founder of the Dada movement, which began in Zurich during the First World War. Poet, literary iconoclast and catalyst, his ideas were inspired by his contempt for the bourgeois values and traditional attitudes towards art that existed at the time. DescriptionThis volume contains Tristan Tzara 's famous manifestos, which first appeared between 1916 and 1921 and became essential texts of the modern movement and models for Breton 's Surrealist manifestos. Art for Tzara was both deadly serious and a game, and the playfulness of his character is apparent not only in his polemic, which often uses dadaist typography, but in the delightful drawings contributed by Francis Picabia. |
