Le Soleil Noir
French publishing house, founded by François Di Dio, crucial for Surrealist, Fantastic, and Absurdist literature after World War II.
Short Biography
Le Soleil Noir (The Black Sun) was founded in 1950 in Paris, France. The publishing house was one of the most important platforms for the publication of post-war Surrealist literature and the literary currents of the Absurd and the Fantastic. They published authors such as André Breton, Antonin Artaud, and Jacques Prévert. Their editions, characterized by a strong visual and typographical aesthetic, were an extension of the avant-garde into the book world.
Connection to the Book World
Le Soleil Noir is famous for its luxury editions of modern literature, often illustrated with original graphics (lithographs, etchings) by Surrealist and fantastic artists such as Max Ernst and Matta. The books are a unique combination of experimental typography and graphic art, which makes their position in the post-war avant-garde bibliophily essential.
