Flugblatt gegen die stalinistische Verzückung aus Kreisen der franz. Intellektuellen. - Vortext: Nachfolgend eine Sammlung der inzwischen selten gewordenen Flugblätter bzw. Pamphlete (tracts) der Pariser Surrealisten aus den fünfziger und sechziger Jahren, immer noch unter Beteiligung der bewährten künstlerischen Kräfte um André Breton, aber auch mit neuen Profilen in der Federführung surrealistischer Wortmeldungen. Sie setzen die öffentlichen Stellungnahmen der surrealistischen Bewegung aus den dreißiger und vierziger Jahren unter politischen Aspekten fort und unterstreichen die Bedeutung, die sich die Surrealisten um André Breton als gesellschaftliche Repräsentanz im öffentlichen Leben gegeben haben. In ihrem Erscheinungsbild unterscheiden sich die Pamphlete der Spätphase nicht von ihren Vorläufern: ein (mitunter doppelseitig bedrucktes) Blatt Meinungsäußerung in dichter Typographie, gelegentlich mit einer Illustration, das meist farbige Papier aus dem Vorrat genommen, wie er einer Druckerei zur Verfügung steht, fast immer datiert und am Schluß des Textes stets mit den Namen derer, die ihn zu vertreten haben. Zur Erklärung und Deutung der kollektiven Statements der Surrealisten vgl. A. Schwarz, "Das polit. Engagement der Surrealisten", in : Die Surrealisten, hrsg. von A. Schwarz, Ffm. 1989, S. 48 ff.; sowie J. Pierre, Tracts surréalistes et Déclarations collectives, 2 Bde., Paris 1980-82. Sprache: Französisch. *** Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns immer BEVOR Sie bestellen!

No Binding. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. Postcard measuring 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches (88 x 140 mm). Postcard signed by the two leading Surrealists, Paul Éluard and André Breton, to Brussels music publisher Georges Vriamont. Éluard has addressed the card in black ink and written: "Trčs amical souvenir," signing it underneath. Breton added his signature in green ink under Éluard's signature. The verso is a black-and-white photograph of four bridges in Prague; the postcard was issued by Z. Broz of Prague.Éluard and Breton traveled to Prague from March 27 to April 10, 1935, following the opening of the first Czech Surrealist group exhibition. Breton gave four talks on Surrealist art, while Éluard spoke on Surrealist poetry.

[Brno]: 1968. Broadside, 30 × 21.5 cm, with mimeographed text and illustration to recto, text in Czech and French. With horizontal fold, else very good. An apparently unrecorded broadside by the Lacoste group, a Brno-based association of post-war Czech surrealist artists, who also issued a samizdat art periodical entitled Styx between 1966 and 1969. Signed February 1968, the text apparently voices protest against the first surrealist exhibition to be held in Czechoslovakia since 1947. The more liberal climate of the mid-to-late 1960s, which would soon culminate in the Prague Spring of 1968, allowed for an exhibit entitled "The Pleasure Principle" (Princip slasti), to be held at Brno, Prague, and Bratislava. Aside from four pre-war surrealists, the exhibit represented the post-war generation of French surrealists in the tradition of Breton. See also Derek Sayer, Prague: Capital of the Twentieth Century: A Surrealist History, pp. 432-434. A very uncommon glimpse into one of the ways surrealism survived in post-war Czechoslovakia, along with the activities of Skupina Ra and similar groups. As of January 2024, Not in KVK, OCLC.
