Iron for Man Ray (Photo credit: Pickersgill Reef)
Allons-y! A little dip into the pool of avant-garde art, Da-Da, surrealism et n’import de quoi for our journey into the world of French culture as nous célébrons le Quatorze Juillet! Bring out les pétards!

Paris, France:
BASTARD CHILD OF DADA
EMERGES
REVOLTING!
anti-art,
revolting.
ManRay had lunch today
with Reverdy.
“Create a juxtaposition
of two more or less distant
realities.”
Je t’aime.
Je t’en prie.
Je t’attends,
l’anarchie.
Mr. Magrite,
viens ici.

THIS WORLD IS STILL
CONTINUOUSLY
CONFUSING TO ME. – will it ever stop?
I really am liking this. It’s just so alive and vibrant. Great picture selection as well.
Oh, this is such fun. Wonderful!
Speaking of Manray … I’m sure you saw “Midnight in Paris” …
I found Sands’s webstie. Will definitely indulge when the schedule clears. Thanks.
… and it is just as much fun to read it the second time. So very well conceived.
Awesome! I want to steal this poem
.
so if dada-ism once asked “what something is?”, would neo-dada-ism ask in addition “where and when it is?”
Delightfully confusing.
Ha ha! Love this, though I am still confused…
Mr. Magritte,
viens ici.
Indeed. Thank you.
gave me a welcome chuckle
and i always envisioned dali et al as having one heck of a time 
thanks so much!
ps – my wife is helping me with the french parts, she’s 1/2 french
One of my favorite contributions to French culture! Where would we be without Dada indeed. Fun to read and bring to remembrance.
It’s clear to me that I am muddily confused. I read your poem out loud with gusto and feel much better, thank you very much.
Confusing, perhaps – avant-garde definitely… but a fabulous take on the them. Love it.
yes
confusingly silly!!! loved it!!!
ha..sometimes a bit of confusion and craziness is just what it needs to break open new paths… and somehow paris always seems to be the right place for it
hah, shriek!
Fully enjoyed this!
And I didn’t know that’s how you spelled allonsee!
It’s probably better to be confused about modern art! Great fun.
I’m not unconfused yet!
I really like the ending! Your words are just like pétards that explode in the end!
Ne comprend, et oui! = )
It is a bit obscure, n’est pas?”
Oops. Make that n’est-ce pas?!
So much fun! But isn’t that the nature of “moving forward” in Art – always finding barriers to break! k.
I remember this! Or at least a version of it. It’s still continuously amusing to me.
if you are not confused you must certainly be insane…smiles…haha the revolting child, anti art…i will admit to confusion on a regular occasion…smiles.
