Comment (0)Rudolf E. Kuenzli (ed.): Dada and Surrealist Film (1987)
Filed under book | Tags: · art history, cinema, dada, film, film history, surrealism
“This collection of thirteen original essays analyzes connections between film and two highly influential twentieth-century movements. The essays, which comment on specific films and deal with theoretical and topical questions, are framed by a documentary section that includes a photographic reproduction of the manuscript scenario for Robert Desnos’s and Man Ray’s L’Etoile de mer, and an introduction by the editor that provides a cogent working model for the difference between Dada and Surrealist perspectives.” (back cover)

“In Dada: Monograph of a Movement, detailed exposés are given of the history of dadaism and its effects on painting, sculpture, commercial art, literature, music, film and psychology, written by such competent collaborators as Marcel Janco, Richard Huelsenbeck, Hans Richter and more. Attention has been given to the relations of dadaism to expressionism, futurism, surrealism, and other isms. A chronology, a Dada dictionary, various documents in facsimile and more than 200 illustrations give a well-informing survey on dadaism, its participators and their works.”
