Description: Paris, Edition Jean Michel Place, 1975. Not continuously paginated. B./w. ills. Orig. hardcover (black lettered red cloth), d./j. - Dustjacket discol. on spine.Reprint of the complete collection of 12 issues of revue la Révolution Surréaliste (English: The Surrealist Revolution) published between 1924 and 1929. It was founded in 1924 by Louis Aragon, André Breton, Pierre Naville and Benjamin Péret. Shortly after releasing the first Surrealist Manifesto, André Breton published the inaugural issue of La Révolution surréaliste on December 1, 1924. Pierre Naville and Benjamin Péret were the initial directors of the publication and modeled the format of the journal on the conservative scientific review La Nature. The format was deceiving, and to the Surrealists' delight, La Révolution surréaliste was consistently scandalous and revolutionary. The journal focused on writing with most pages densely packed with columns of text, but also included reproductions of art, among them works by Giorgio de Chirico, Max Ernst, André Masson and Man Ray.
