[MAGAZINE]. Le Cœur à barbe. Journal transparent. Paris: Au Sans Pareil, April 1922. — In-8 booklet, 226 x 140: (4 ff.). Stapled. Rare first and only issue of this Dada magazine, to which Paul Éluard, Fraenkel, Vincent Huidobro, Mathew Josephson, Benjamin Péret, Georges Ribemont-Dessaignes, Érik Satie, Serner, Rrose Sélavy (a fictional character created by Marcel Duchamp), Philippe Soupault, and Tristan Tzara. “This one-off issue of the magazine *Le Cœur à barbe* emerged in the wake of the tensions between André Breton and Tristan Tzara that began in early 1922. It bears witness to the tensions caused by Breton’s attempt—and failure—to organize an ‘International Congress for the Determination of Guidelines and the Defense of the Modern Spirit,’ also known as the Paris Congress ” (website: andrebreton.fr, article “Le Cœur à barbe”). The feud came to a definitive end the following year during “La Soirée du Cœur à Barbe,” which marked Tzara’s radical break with Breton, Aragon, and Éluard, and the end of Parisian Dadaism. The evening ended in a brawl between the Dadaists and Breton’s supporters, who sabotaged Tzara’s play *Le Cœur à gaz*. Booklet printed on pink paper. Well-preserved copy.
