Les éditions Le Soleil Noir à l’ombre du surréalisme (1950-1982)

De la co-création aux livres-objets merveilleux

Abstract

The publishing house Le Soleil Noir (1950-1960), founded by François Di Dio, promoted writers (as Duprey, Rodanski, Mansour, Tarnaud and Sebbag) and artists (Baj, Tovar, Giovanna, Toyen Bellmer…) of the second wave of Surrealism. Drawing on its heuristics, Le Soleil Noir is the successor of Surrealism, though it never explicitly identified as such. Like Surrealism, Le Soleil Noir adventure was collaborative. Created by a writer and an artist, objects books embodied this co-creating ideal.
