Bucarest, March 1929. Quarto (32.2 × 24 cm). Original pictorial self-wrappers with the green adhesive label; [4] pp. With reproductions after works by Victor Brauner and Georges Malkine as well as after a group photo of Stephan Roll, Victor Brauner and Lizy at the Secol milk bar. Somewhat toned and with small marginal tears; old horizontal fold; else good. Single issue of the Romanian avant-garde magazine, printed in an edition of 500 copies each. The periodical appeared in the years from 1928 to 1932 and represented a strong surrealist tendency. Regarding the rarity of the magazine, Sa?a Pan? wrote: "[.] our publications did not become rare with time, they were already rarities on the day of publication, especially the magazines that [.] existed only as wrapping paper [.]". (Quoted and translated from: Ilk, Rumänische Avantgarde, p. 4). This issue includes contributions by Victor Brauner, Geo Bogza, Benjamin Fondane, Stephan Roll, Sa?a Pan?, Claude Sernet. The "Unu" group around Pan? met in a Bucharest milk bar run by the father of the writer and professional boxer Stephan Roll. Pan? maintained contact with the Parisian Surrealists, especially Breton, with whom he was in correspondence. Nevertheless, the group saw itself as independent. Surrealism was important in the Romanian context, but the group did not see itself as part of the movement. Within the Romanian avant-garde, "Unu" was in contact with the circle around "Contimporanul". But it was not long before "Unu" attacked its older colleagues. Pan? published a sarcastic article in which he distanced himself from the constructivism of "Contimporanul" in no uncertain terms and claimed the pioneering role in Romania for himself and his journal. Pan? sought to compete with Marcel Janco and Ion Vinea. (Roland Prügel, Im Zeichen der Stadt: Avantgarde in Rumänien 1920-1938, Köln, Weimar and Wien 2008, pp. 136ff.)
