Dada1, ed. Tristan Tzara (Zurich, July 1917), cover, andDada 2,ed. Tristan Tzara (Zurich, December 1917), cover. (Hoffman)Tristan Tzara (born Samuel or Samy Rosenstock, a.ka. S. Samyro; April 16 1896, in Romania

Born into a Jewish family, his 1st language was probably Yiddish, his second Romanian, and his adopted language French. In fact the majority of his work was written in French.

Having been sent away to boarding school at 11, he actually started his writing career with the magazine Simbolul, under the direction of Adrian Maniu, when he was 16.

Dada3, ed. Tristan Tzara (Zurich, December 1918), cover. (Hoffman) So Tzara was a major president in Dada, the movement to end all movements, in reaction to that War to end all wars, WWI or the Great War.

Avant-garde poet, essayist and performance artist. Also active as a journalist, playwright, literary and art critic, composer and film director (Hoffman)

So Tzara collaborated with other Romanian Jews notably Marcel and Georges Janco to start the Dadaist movement. (Sanderson)

Dada3, ed. Tristan Tzara (Zurich, December 1918). (Hoffman)During WWI, Tzara joined Marcel Janco in Switzerland at the Cabaret Voltaire and performed drama, recited his poetry and his Dadaist manifestos.

Though nobody knows where the term comes from, some say Dada in French it means hobby horse. In German it means good-bye, Get off my back, Be seeing you sometime. In Romanian: Yes, indeed, you are right, that's it.(Spencer)

Dadaist Disgust (KennethDouglas)

Der Dada3, ed. Raoul Hausmann (Berlin, April 1920), cover. In Zrich, Tzara met many writers and artist who would later found the Dadaist movement. Among these were Hugo Ball and his wife Emmy Hennings, who rented the Cabaret Voltaire, the venue for their performance art, Hans Arp,Arthur Segal,Otto van Rees,Max Oppenheimer, andMarcel Sodki. His old friend Marcel Janco also joined the troupe, as did writer and drummer Richard Huelsenbeck. The Troupe in Zrich Hugo Ball and his wife Emmy Hennings, Hans Arp, Arthur Segal, Otto Van Rees, Max Oppenheimer, Marcel Janco, Richard Huelsenbeck, and Marcel Stodki. (Gullette)

Though the movement began as a literary venue, it quickly moved to performance and visual arts movement. (Sayre)

3912, ed. Francis Picabia (Barcelona, February 10, 1917), cover. Many authors, and artists from France, Germany, and Italy joined the movement.

Eventually, artists from the United States joined the fray. (Hartt)(Hoffman)

The Blind Man1, eds. Marcel Duchamp, Beatrice Wood, and Henri-Pierre Roch (New York, April 10, 1917), cover. (Hoffman)From France, it was Marcel Duchamp who led the movement with his outrageous paintings and sculptures.

Marcel Duchamp: Nude Descending a Staircase 1912 (Swanson) In this painting, Marcel Duchamp integrates the Cubist to the Futurists in a brave Dadaist way.

he Blind Man2, eds. Marcel Duchamp, Beatrice Wood, and Henri-Pierre Roch (New York, May 1917), pp. 23. (Hoffman) The photo to the left shows Duchamps readymade sculpture of a urinal, which he aptly called Fountain. (Hoffman)

IIn 1918, Francis Picabia, and Marcel Duchamp, from France, and Man Ray from the U.S., formed the Nihilist offshoot from Dada.

This movement was extreme Dada, Nihilism is the belief that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated. It is often associated with extreme pessimism and a radicalskepticism that condemns existence. A true nihilist would believe in nothing, have no loyalties, and no purpose other than, perhaps, an impulse to destroy.(Pratt) www.niilists.netNeozubair.worldpress.com

Dada6(Bulletin Dada),ed. Tristan Tzara (Paris, February 1920), cover. (Hoffman)Dada in Paris, 1920With: Louis Aragon, Breton, and Ribemont-Dessaignes, Arp and Tzara from Zurich, Man Ray and Picabia from New York, and Max Ernst from Cologne. (Sayre) , (Hoffman) & (ArtHistory.net)

Minotaure10, ed. Albert Skira (Paris, Winter 1937), cover (Hofman).Dadaism eventually evolved into Surrealism.

Andr Breton led the charge and change to surrealism. (Hoffman) but second sourced fro Bretons Manifeste du surrealisme

La Rvolution surraliste12, ed. Andr Breton (Paris, December 15, 1929), cover. (Hoffman) Though the Surrealist movement began as a literary genre, it too quickly evolved into a visual art movement.

To name a few: Andr Breton, Salvador Dal, Giorgio de Chirico, Robert Desnos, Marcel Duchamp, and Michel Leiris.

We should also add the Ultraistas like Jorge Luis Borges. (Hoffman), (Pratt) & (Spenser)

My favorite surrealist artist is Salvador Dal and this painting is called The Persistence of MemoryI wrote this tribute to Dal and his expressed philosophy of Gastro Esthetic Cannibalism when I was 18:

To Dal or Gastro Aesthetic Cannibalism

Munching on fingers,I assimilate,osmosize sculpture art;grace metaphors.

Those mothsnot butterflies in stomach,feed on each other,death-head victor,rends gastric-wallsin carnivore jaws.

Lust tastes, wants and screams insatiably more! more!

That wind, of hate, hungers for our warmth,gnaws at corners of cloth-skins,and sins.

Beauty-day consumes beast-ugly-night,and moon that sunand we that son of God?

Tears and rivers erode-bits of wealth-from Earth and brow;(both being faces and planets)leavingonlyrotting fearsome stenchand time.

Life in lark exaltation, death in black-raven shriek-cosmic orality-consuming all.

Poems from Borges

Lluvia Bruscamente la tarde se ha aclaradoPorque ya cae la lluvia minuciosa.Cae o cay. La lluvia es una cosaQue sin duda sucede en el pasado.

Quien la oye caer ha recobradoEl tiempo en que la suerte venturosaLe revel una flor llamada rosaY el curioso color del colorado.

Esta lluvia que ciega los cristalesAlegrar en perdidos arrabalesLas negras uvas de una parra en cierto

Patio que ya no existe. La mojadaTarde me trae la voz, la voz deseada,De mi padre que vuelve y que no ha muerto. (A. Z. Forman)RainThe afternoon has brightened up at lastFor rain is falling, sudden and minute.Falling or fallen. There is no dispute:Rain is a thing that happens in the past.

Who hears it fall retrieves a time that fledWhen an uncanny windfall could discloseTo him a flower by the name of roseAnd the perplexing redness of its red.

Falling until it blinds each windowpaneOut in a lost suburbia this rainShall liven black grapes on a vine inside

A certain patio that is no more.A longed-awaited voice through the downpourIs from my father. He has never died. . (A. Z. Forman)
