Corti, Jose
A legendary Parisian publishing house, founded by José Corti, indispensable for the publication of Surrealist and fantastic literature.
Short Biography
Corti, Jose was born on December 16, 1895, in Courbevoie, France. His publishing house, founded in 1925 in Paris, was the central publisher of the Surrealist literary canon, including works by André Breton and René Char. Corti focused on the texts of the movement and published fewer illustrated 'livres d'artiste', but his role in establishing and disseminating Surrealist literature made him an indispensable figure in the literary avant-garde.
Connection to the Book World
Corti's contribution to illustrated books lies in the publication of the core texts of Surrealism and fantastic literature that were later illustrated in bibliophile editions by other publishers. His editions were typographically refined but usually without original prints.
