Explanation:
In 1933, the poet Tzara published an anthology of his works published between 16 and 32 called Anti-Brain, with illustrations by Pablo Picasso.Sixteen years later, she published a new edition in three volumes, limited to 16 copies, with etchings by Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy and Joan Miro.``Mr. Anti-Philosopher Aa,'' which expresses Tzara as a Dadaist, ``Midnight of the Giants,'' which shows the transition period from Dada to Surrealism, and ``Desperante,'' which depicts the automatism of the Surrealists. Ernst, Tanguy, and Miró provided illustrations for each.In particular, Miro's illustrations use clear colors to paint the shapes of the moon and stars, and their bright and free imagination is free from the constraints of Tzara's text, so they are more like poets and painters in the true sense of the word. It could be a collaboration.
