| Summary: | As a leader of Dada, Tzara helped create the moment art changed forever. But, Hentea shows, Tzara and Dada were not coterminous. Tzara went on to publish more than fifty books, he wrote one of the great poems of surrealism, he became a recognized expert on primitive art and he was an active antifascist, a communist and a forumer communist. Hentea offers a detailed exploration of Tzara's early life in Romania, a scrupulous assessment of his Dada years and a fascinating reconstruction of Tzara's often surprising post-Dada activities and adventures. |
