Preface
Fantastic Art, Dada and Surrealism is the second of a series of exhibitions
planned to present in an objective and historical manner the principal move
ments of modern art. The first of these, Cubism and Abstract Art, was held at
the Museum in the spring of this year.
The divisions of the exhibition are self-explanatory. The fantastic and the
marvellous in European and American art of the past five centuries is repre
sented in a rather cursory way. The main body of the exhibition is represented
by the Dada— Surrealist movement of the past twenty years together with cer
tain of its pioneers. A number of artists who have worked along related but
independent lines are brought together in a separate division. Then follow
sections on comparative material and on fantastic architecture.
Even the most casual observer will notice certain obvious resemblances
between some of the works in the historical division and certain Dada and
Surrealist works: for example the use of the biaxial composite double image
in the two paintings, no. 2 and no. 320, or the animation of the inanimate in
the work of Bracelli, no. 53, Larmessin, no. 71, Beale, no. 93, Williams,
no. 169, Busch, no. 103, Ernst, no. 343, Dali, no. 323. These resemblances,
however startling, may prove to be superficial or merely technical in character
rather than psychological. The study of the art of the past in the light of Sur
realist esthetic is only just beginning. Genuine analogies may exist but they
must be kept tentative until our knowledge of the states of mind of, say, Bosch
or Bracelli has been increased by systematic research and comparison. One
may suppose, however, that many of the fantastic and apparently Surrealist
works of the Baroque or Renaissance are to be explained on rational grounds
rather than on a Surrealist basis of subconscious and irrational expression.
The section devoted to the art of the past has been strictly limited. Only
European art since the end of the middle ages is represented. Oriental art and
the extremely relevant art of primitive and prehistoric man have not been
touched. The section on comparative material is also arbitrarily limited. No
natural objects of a Surrealist character, or photographs of them, are included
(save only the bearded grapes of Albersweiler, no. 44a) and no documents
from such rich fields as spiritualism, astrology, magic, alchemy and other
occult sciences.
No attempt will be made in this preface to add to the already very large
7
body of writing about Dada and Surrealism.* The bibliography lists several
instructive works both of explanation by participants in these movements and
of criticism by outside observers. The chronology may serve to refresh the
memory of those interested in historical sequences. In any case the works of
art, or their reproductions, are eloquent.
It should however be stated that Surrealism as an art movement is a serious
affair and that for many it is more than an art movement: it is a philosophy, a
way of life, a cause to which some of the most brilliant painters and poets of
our age are giving themselves with consuming devotion.
A. H. B. JR.
Essays by Georges Hugnet on Dada and Surrealism, prepared for this volume, were not ready in time
for inclusion. They will be published during the course of the exhibition.

Brief chronology
The Dada and Surrealist movements with certain pioneers and antecedents
1910
Paris: Cubism reaches a period of fantastically arbitrary dislocation and dis
integration of natural forms. Braque and Picasso introduce into cubist
pictures "un-artistic" elements such as imitation wood, sand and letters.
1911
Munich (1911-14): Kandinsky paints improvisations, e.g. no. *226, "rather
subconsciously in a state of strong inner tension." These mark a degree
of extreme irrational spontaneity approached but scarcely surpassed by
Arp (1916) or later by Masson and Miro.
Paris : Duchamp begins to undermine Cubist formal purity with such pictures
as the Coffee mill, no. *216, (December) with its proto-Dada mechano-
morphic character.
ChagalTs pictures such as Dedicated to my fiancee, no. 184, and Paris
through the window, no. *185, recklessly fantastic and outre subject mat
ter of two-headed cats, lovers soaring over roof-tops, bull-lieaded men;
paintings later (1916) called by Apollinaire Sur-naturalisme (derived
from Gerard de Nerval, 1805-55), and anticipating by a year his inven-
tion of the word Surrealiste.
Paris (1911-14) : de Cliirico paints The nostalgia of the infinite, no. *190, The
enigma of a day, no. 192, The melancholy and mystery of a street, no.
*194. His work admired by Apollinaire, Paul Guillaume, Pierre Roy and
others.
9
1912
Paris: Picasso and Braque make papiers colles, compositions with bits of
pasted newspaper, calling cards, etc., a further radical violation of tradi
tional ways of painting, no. 250.
1913
New York: In the June Camera Work (Alfred Stieglitz) Picabia announces
Amorphism, a proto-Dada satire on abstract art illustrating pictures con
taining nothing at all but the signature "Popaul Picador."
Paris : Picasso's relief constructions of odds and ends of woods, paper, curtain
tassels anticipate Dada objects.
1914
The War begins in August
Pans: Duchamp's Bachelors, no. *220, his first total departure from Cubist
traditions.

an uncensored spontaneity of imagery far beyond that of his earlier fan
tasies, no. *229.

Brief bibliog
This bibliography is by no means comprehensive. It is confined principally to works
of a general nature in English and the major European languages. The bibliography
of the Walter P. Chrysler, Jr., collection of Dada and Surrealist material, recently
given to the Museum library, is now in preparation and will contain a detailed list of
documentary material, especially catalogs, periodicals, manifestos, invitations, mono
graphs, illustrated books, etc.
