Dada, Surrealism, and Romania:

A Bibliography
Timothy Shipe

This selective bibliography of Dada, surrealism, and Romania is intended

primarily for Anglophone and Francophone readers. Primary texts in Romanian
are included; but secondary literature is generally limited to books in English and
French, except where there is a dearth of material on a particular writer or artist.
The focus is on monographic publications, articles being included only very
selectively.
The reviews associated with Dada and surrealism in Romania are listed
chronologically by initial year of publication. Similarly, under each author,
primary literature is listed by year of first publication. For prolific authors and
those whose Dada or surrealist connections diminished later in life, the listing of
primary literature is more selective after 1950. Secondary literature is listed
alphabetically by author or editor, and exhibition catalogs are listed
chronologically.
Except where noted, all citations are for print publications.
