Review
""Tristan Tzara was like me, like Socrates, like Chateaubriand, a very small, fat, and very ugly man, but with incredible charm!" --Fernando Arrabal, author, " Guernica and Other Plays
Product Description
This 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. In addition, this volume also contains Tzara's Lampisteries - articles that throw light on various art forms contemporary with his own work, at a time when art, weary of the old certainties, turned into subjective and often abstract forms, favouring the reality of the mind over that of the senses.

not an academical book if that's what you're looking for
12 Dec 1999
Format:Paperback
you won't find an explanation of what dada is, simply because it cannot be explained. dada is the anarchism in a french female-boxer soul. is an excellent literary book. not a college research book.

THIS ARE IT
7 April 2006
Format:Paperback
As can be seen by some of the reviews, this goes waaaaaay over some peoples heads. For others, it changes lives. I am of the latter category, and i will never be the same after having read this book.

This book does not define Dada. It is Dada.
22 July 2001
Format:Paperback
All manifestos are the biographies of feeble and bitter love. Dada is, therefore, an impotent rapist. Still, Tzara is a charming and likable fellow.
If you want to know what Dada is, then Dada wants nothing to do with you. Approach this book at your own peril.
Dada is against death. Definition is death. This book does not commit murder. Therefore it does not define Dada. It is Dada....
