Tristan Tzara (Sami Rosenstock a.k.a. Samuel Rosenstock) (April 16, 1896
– December 25, 1963) was a Romanian poet and essayist. He was one of
the founders of the Dada movement, known best for his manifestos. He was a
collaborator with Marcel Janco. It is speculated that the word "Dada" comes
from the Romanian "Yes, yes" and is thus originated from Tzara and Janco's
contributions. It is more commonly believed Tzara picked a random word out
of a French dictionary and got "Dada", a child's word for a hobby horse.
Life and work Tzara was born in Moine?ti, Bac?u Province, Romania to a
family of Jewish Romanians. Tzara wrote the first Dada texts, La Première
Aventure céleste de Monsieur Antipyrine (The First Heavenly Adventure of
Mr. Antipyrine) (1916), Vingt-cinq poèmes (Twenty-Five Poems) (1918) [LINK:
