 Item
Identifier: CC-34521-36220
Scope and Contents

David Seaman curated this exhibition and writes in his essay, "Lettrisme is a cultural school, similar to Romanticism and Surrealism, seeking to bring about an evolution of universal values through its own characteristic creations. It continues even today...We do not read these works in the literal sense, but we gather the diffuse meanings that are suggested by semantic elements such as letters, symbols, and icons." The exhibition included Lettriste sound poetry, film and hypergraphic novels. Alain Satie and Woodie Roehmer participated, the latter recreating a floating sculpture, "Aquatic Dance." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Lettristes a Jean Vilar / Brau, Jean-Louis ; Lemaitre, Maurice., 1952

 Item
Identifier: CC-23083-23520
Scope and Contents

Jean Vilar was the director of the Theatre national populaire who in 1949 declared, "The pimpa, the whores, sailors, workers, students, concierges, bus drivers, tramps, neighborhood shopkeepers, the pretty young girls on the street, all mixed inside the theater are better for our dramatic literature than the Saint-Sulpicien, the orthodox Marxist, or the committed literi and the ex-prince of the black market." (Walesman; The heroic City: Paris 1945-1958). This polemic with text structured like a telegram from the Lettristes is critical of Villar's current direction (1952) that is taking for the TNP. The peice is not depicted in Acquaviva's Bientot les Lettristes (1946-1977). -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
