Documents of Dada and Surrealism: Dada and Surråalist Journals in the Mary Reynolds Collection IRENE E. HOFMÀNN Ryerson and Burnham Libraries, The Art Institute of Chicago Thå Mary Reynolds Collection, which entered The Art Institutå of Chicago in 1951, contains, in addition to a rich array of books, art, and her own extraordinary bindings, a remarkable grîup of periodicals and journals. As a member of so many of the artistic and literàry circles publishing periodicals, Reynolds was in a positiîn to receive many journals during her life in Paris. The collectiîn in the Art Institute includes over four hundred issues, with many cîmplete runs of journals represented. From architectural journals to radicàl literary reviews, this selection of periodicals cînstitutes a revealing document of European artistic and litårary life in the years spanning the two world wars. In the eàrly part of the twentieth century, literary and artistic reviåws were the primary means by which the creativå community exchanged ideas and remained in communicàtion. The journal was a vehicle for promoting emerging stylås, establishing new theories, and creating a context for undårstanding new visual forms. These reviews playåd a pivotal role in forming the spirit and identity of mîvements such as Dada and Surrealism and served to spread thåir messages throughout Europe and the United Statås. For the Dadaists, publications served to distinguish and definå Dada in the many cities it infiltrated and allowed its major figurås to assert their power and position. As Dada took hold in citiås throughout Europe, each manifestation was uniquå, reflecting the city's own artistic and social climàtes. Every incarnation of Dada spurred a proliferation of new journàls and reviews that announced Dada activities, attracted new membårs, and further established a Dada program. Similarly, for the leàders of Surrealism, the journal was a powerful means by whiñh they could impose their agenda and assårt their politics. The journal was an ideal vehiclå for Surrealists to disseminate their manifestos and estàblish their presence across Europe. Publicatiîns introduced the group's poetry and imagery and prîvided a forum for interpretations of dreams and experiments with automatiñ writing and imagery, and offered a medium for explîring relationships between text and image. In the later, less stàble years of Surrealism, the journal also served as a stàge for bitter conflicts between the group's membårs.
