Paris: Éditions des Réverbères, 1939. Tall narrow octavo (25.7 × 7 cm). Original sewn decorative wrappers; [40] pp. Printed on differently colored paper stock of slightly different sizes. Wrappers and one leaf with overlapping edges with minor fraying to edges; still about very good. Rare volume of poems published by the neo-Dadaist group Les Réverbères, which was founded in December 1937 by Michel Tapié, Jean Marembert, Jacques Office, Pierre Minne, and Henri Bernard, and which promoted Dadaist exhibitions, jazz concerts, stage performances, and published literary works. Among the exhibitors were: Louis Cattiaux, Marembert, Pierre Minne, Tapié, as well as members of the "La Main à plume" surrealist group: Noël Arnaud, Marc Patin, Jean-François Chabrun, and others. Among other events, the group also organized "Tribute to Dada" soirées, which featured readings of texts by Tristan Tzara, Ribemont-Dessaignes, and others. In "Art of the Defeat: France 1940?1944," Laurence Bertrand Dorléac asserts that the group still met for several gatherings retaining the spirit of the 1930s even after the German occupation of France in June 1940. The Neo-Dadaist activities around Michel Tapié have not been explored to any significant degree and are rarely mentioned in passing in the literature on Dada and Surrealism. One exception is Michel Fauré's book "Histoire du surréalisme sous l'Occupation", published in 1982. The reason for the sparse state of research is probably that the experimental, elaborate avant-garde prints, most of which were produced in very small editions, are hardly accessible due to their rarity. There is no doubt, however, that Tapié's work is relevant to art history; after all, he is one of the most important figures of the European avant-garde after the end of the Second World War. Today, he is known to a wider circle above all as an important critic and theoretician who not only contributed significantly to the reception of Max Ernst, Francis Picabia, and Jean Dubuffet through his publications, but also played an active role in the development of the "Informel" and "Tachism" tendencies after 1945. His text "Un art autre", published in 1952, is still discussed as one of the formative contributions. In it, "Dada" marks the decisive turning point for Tapié, comparable to Nietzsche in philosophy. "Dada" is described as the great, shattering break after which nothing in art could be taken for granted. (Michel Tapié, Un art autre, German transl. in: Laszlo Glozer, Westkunst. Zeitgenössische Kunst seit 1939, Cologne 1981, p. 158ff.) In the second manifesto of "Nouveau Réalisme", that important group around Yves Klein, Michel Tapié appears by name as the "guarantor of a new art movement" after the end of the war, since he upheld the "Dada myth" as a necessary "zero point," as a "tabula rasa". (See: Second Manifesto of "Nouveau Réalisme", 1961, in: ibid., p. 246.) The present work combines reproduced handwritten text with illustrations by Michel Tapié, and resembles the group's 1938 catalog in terms of design, with the addition of colored paper. We have seen a copy with wrappers printed on light green stock, leading us to assume that there was some variation in the use of the colored stock. Numbered copy of 200 on regular paper; 25 copies on "de luxe" were also issued. As of December 2025, KVK, OCLC show four copies in North America, as well as one each at the BnF and Bibliotheque Kandinsky.
