    This leaflet is an opportunity for the “Surréalistes” to not only denounce the French police, but also the “brigandage” initiative that is colonialism, whose 1931 exhibition glorifies civilizing virtues.

  28. Surréalisme N°1
    Guillaume APOLLINAIRE, René CREVEL
    Surréalisme N°1
    Galerie Cubat|Paris Octobre1924|16.50 x 25 cm|broché
    Rare invitation card to attend the exhibition of tunics created by Raymond Duncan, in the theater-gallery he founded at 34, rue du Colisée, from April 25 to June 1, 1922.
    Beautiful and rare copy.
    Raymond Duncan was fascinated by ancient Greece since his childhood: the aesthetics and fashion of
    The life he promoted at the Akademia was marked by this influence.
    The press of the time glossed over the clothes worn
    by Raymond Duncan and his disciples: "Greek-style" tunics
    that he / she was making himself. Behind the supposed ridicule of
    this accoutrement, these unisex tunics was a way of abolishing the
    differences in gender and class. Raymond Duncan would have
    adopted this dress after his coachman was denied access to a
    beach because of his livery that betrayed his social status.
    The life of the Akademia was organized around many activities: dance,
    music, weaving, gymnastics, crafts, spinning, Orphic singing, language and
    Greek philosophy. These courses included students from outside - who
    paid according to their possibilities - and members of the living community
    between its walls for a few days, a few months or a few years.
    Housed and fed - according to the vegetarian diet promoted by Duncan - these
    last, in return, participated in the community's economy
    making sandals, spinning wool, weaving tunics on
    primitive crafts. These artifacts were then sold - at high prices
    - in the Akademia shop located rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.
