Emerging on the scene in a vital period of Greek literary history in the early 1930s, he would begin his career as an important but little-known forerunner to that country´s surrealism movement?and he would end it as an established poet and art critic in New York, known in the pages of the Village Voice, Art International, and Artforum, among others places. In this book, Lena Hoff offers the first intellectual biography of this important figure, one who embodied the restlessness that characterizes twentieth century arts and letters. Calas was an early innovator in Greece, fusing avant-garde poetics with Trotskyism and Freudo-Marxist principles. However, growing weary of his isolation and the relatively modest support he found in his native country, he moved to Paris in the mid-1930s, where he quickly gained a seat in the surrealist circle surrounding André Breton. On the eve of World War II, he then became one of the first surrealists to settle in New York, helping pave the way for the likes of Breton, Max Ernst, and Yves Tanguy. The story of a highly enigmatic poet and intellectual who moved freely between surrealism, futurism, and satire?and who put forward challenging ideas in his essays, reviews, and translations?this book also sheds new light on many of the avant-garde´s most trenchant artistic advances.

This is the first intellectual biography of the Greek-American surrealist poet and art critic Nicolas Calas (19071988), who emerged on the scene in a vital period in Greek literary history -- a period that would yield the so-called "Generation of the Thirties" and its two Nobel laureates George Seferis and Odysseas Elyis Calas, an important forerunner of Greek surrealism in the early 1930s, moved to Paris in the mid-1930s, joining the circle around Andre Breton, before resettling in New York on the eve of World War II. Here he would help pave the way for several of his friends, such as Breton, Ernst, and Tanguy and other artists, being an instrumental figure in the dissemination of surrealism in the U.S., writing catalogues and contributing to important art publications. During the 1960-70s -- now an established and well-respected art critic for journals such as Village Voice, Art International and Artforum -- Calas continued to champion surrealist ideals, but also writing extensively on Pop Art, which put him in opposition to most other surrealists of the time. This venturesome book-length study of Nicolas Calas -- the first of its kind -- will be of great interest to students, scholars and general readers interested in the many fields and disciplines that Calas traversed -- art criticism, surrealism, philosophy, poetry to name but a few -- throwing new and important light on a highly enigmatic poet and intellectual who continuously put forward challenging questions, all in the service of the avant-garde.
