At once artist, composer, poet, editor, photographer, curator,
gallerist and collector, Edouard Leon Theodore Mesens (1903-1971)
was a formidably prolific and visible presence in European Dada and
Surrealism. A close friend to Tristan Tzara, Theo van Doesburg and
Erik Satie, Mesens orchestrated Rene Magritte's international
breakthrough and introduced the Surrealist movement to the United
Kingdom, thus forging links between the Belgian, British and French
branches of the movement. His collages and artworks, with their
vacated spaces and odd geometries, recall the early work of de
Chirico or the Dada collages of Raoul Hausmann. This superbly
produced volume is the first substantial monograph on Mesens, who
has long been a cult figure and object of intrigue (thanks in part
to George Melly's account of his menage-a-trois with Mesens and his
wife, in his autobiographical writings). Mesens' art and life
provide a crucial piece of the Surrealist puzzle.
