 Item
Identifier: CC-31795-33311
Scope and Contents

This proof copy with justified margins and paragraph signs rather than indents or spaces was designed by Richard Eckersley. Mary Ann Caws writes in the introduction that among the writings of Breton, this work is the most philosophical and political; the whole edifice of Surrealism is based on its theories. Breton attempts to establish a communicating vessel or "conduction wire between the far to distant wirlds if waking and sleep, exterior and interior reality, reason and madness, the assurance of knowledge and of love, of life for life and the revolution." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Identifier: CC-60927-10003782
Scope and Contents

In "Destruction Was My Beatrice" modernist scholar Jed Rasula presents the first narrative history of Dada, showing how this little-understood artistic phenomenon laid the foundation for culture as we know it today. Although the venue where Dada was born closed after only four months and its acolytes scattered, the idea of Dada quickly spread to New York, where it influenced artistsl like Marcel Ducahmp and Man Ray to Berlin where it inspired painters George Grosz and Hannah Hoch: and to Paris, where it dethroned previous avant-garde movements like Fauvism and Cubism while inspiring early Surrealists."THIS WAS THE LAST BOOK THAT RUTH SACKNER READ AND CATALOGUED. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
