In a famous article Urmuz-Dada-Surrealism, published in Contemporanul magazine (no. 71, 1926), Ion Vinea tried to establish a connection by which Demetru Demetrescu Buzău, the absurdist writer, was a forerunner of the insurrection at Cabaret Voltaire. The approach, invalidated by chronology, intended to lend an autochtonous origin to the avant-garde art and literature, turning it into an “exported”, and not “imported”, product. Nevertheless, even if Romania was not the actual birthplace of Dada, Bucharest can claim a significant place in the European avant-garde movement. A number of pieces from the Museum of Romanian Literature and the Library of the Romanian Academy but also from important private collections stand proof to it. (Radu Stern)
