Collection Dada
Crucial early publication series of the Paris Dada movement, published by Au Sans Pareil.
Short Biography
The 'Collection Dada' was not an independent publisher but a groundbreaking series of publications, started in 1919, that introduced the Dada movement to Paris. The series was published by René Hilsum's 'Au Sans Pareil', at the urging of Tristan Tzara. It included the movement's key texts, such as Tzara's 'Vingt-cinq poèmes', André Breton's 'Le Mouvement Dada', and works by Soupault and Picabia. This series was fundamental to the spread of Dadaist ideas and aesthetics in France.
Connection to the Book World
This series defined the early Dada 'livre d'artiste'. The books were typographically experimental and featured original graphics (especially woodcuts) by the movement's artists. Iconic examples include Tzara's 'Vingt-cinq poèmes' (1918, though technically slightly earlier) illustrated with woodcuts by Hans Arp, and Francis Picabia's 'La Fille née sans mère' (1919).
