Description: Cambridge, The MIT Press, 2009. Hardcover. Gray casebound book. There is a dust jacket with the title in gold and in black down a white spine. Pages: (15), 2-705. "This volume examines the Dada art movement, offering a behind-the-scenes account of the French avant-garde's riotous adolescence, with a timeline that begins with Tzara and Picabia and stretches to include Breton, Philippe Soupault, Louis Aragon, and Paul Éluard. The author (one of the foremost specialists of the Dada movement) describes the pre-Dada Parisian era, the connection made with Zurich Dada, and Parisian Dada projects and their reception. Finally, by 1923, Dada-according-to-Tzara gave way to Dada-according-to-Breton -- which a few months later, under tumultuous circumstances, took on the new name of Surrealism. The longer-lasting, more conservative Surrealism would overshadow Dada for decades to come."
