TZARA, Tristan (1896-1963) et Hans ARP (1886-1966)
Vingt-cinq poèmes. Zurich : J. Heuberger collection Dada, 1918.
Exemplaire Renaud Gillet, relié par Leroux, de l’édition originale du premier livre de la collaboration entre Arp et Tzara.
"Sometime in 1916 Arp sought a further ‘purification of the imagination’, as Ball called it, by looking for ‘new constellations of form such as nature never stops producing. I tried to make forms grow.’ The plant forms, grasses and pebbles are hinted at as generalized natural organisms. Important as these forms are for the surrealist biomorphism of Miró, or Tanguy, they are very different from Masson’s ‘automatic drawings’, which were conceived as a means of reaching the unconscious, and are tentative and exploratory with half-realised images. Arp is interested in the process of drawing, a progressive ‘freeing of form’, and the ink lines are firmly drawn and carefully finished. Arp would even repeat the same drawing to catch new variations in it. The same vitality and spontaneity is in the woodcuts for the dada books and magazines” (Ades p. 68, 3.13).

In-8 (194 x 141 mm). Exemplaire non numéroté sur Alfa. Illustré de 12 bois originaux de Arp (dont un pour la couverture et deux répétés).
Reliure de Georges Leroux, datée 1965 : maroquin ardoise, plat supérieur évidé d’une fenêtre rectangulaire avec titre de l’ouvrage du même maroquin sur fond de papier bois, doublure et gardes de box brun clair, couverture de cartonnage gris de l'éditeur, plat supérieur orné d'un papier doré avec le titre et un bois de Arp imprimé, dos conservé, tranches dorées sur témoins, chemise et étui.
