Tristan Tzara (page 29-30)
A Note on Negro Poetry (1918)
Poetry aesthetics must not follow an ideal but they should hatch like the crocodile; in other words, the artist should be free like nature.
Oceanian Art (1951)
The inheritance of DADA on surrealism, particularly the human over the aesthetic, diminishes the “let's smash shit” politics because the search for perfection is not only futile but works against human nature. Freedom from the shackles of norms release the artist to work in the realm of their Imagination, create a poetic life style, and live with spontaneity.
