Éditions des Cahiers Libres
Parisian publisher from the 1920s, which published important early texts by Antonin Artaud and the avant-garde.
Short Biography
The 'Éditions des Cahiers Libres' (also 'Librairie des Cahiers Libres') was a French publisher, founded and directed by René Laporte in 1920s Paris. It was an important small press for the literary avant-garde of the time. They were known for publishing texts considered too radical by larger, more established publishers. Their most significant contribution was publishing early, crucial texts by Antonin Artaud (like 'L'Art et la Mort', 1929) and other figures close to Surrealism.
Connection to the Book World
The publisher produced bibliophile editions of these avant-garde texts. The books were often illustrated with original graphics, such as etchings or drawings (reproduced as a frontispiece) by artists closely associated with the authors, including Surrealists like André Masson and Man Ray.
