Died in 1963

Samuel Rosenstock, known as Tristan Tzara, was born in April 1896 in Moinești, in Romania, and from 1912 ran the review Simbolul in Bucharest with Ion Vinea and Marcel Janco. A student in Zurich from 1915, he was in 1916 one of the founders of the Cabaret Voltaire and the author of the Dada manifestos. Settled in Paris around 1920, he worked with Breton, Soupault and Aragon, later broke with Breton, moved closer to Surrealism around 1930 and to the Communist Party, and took part in the Resistance. He died in Paris in December 1963.
