Isidore Isou was a versatile artist renowned for his work in poetry, drama, novels, film directing, economics, and visual arts. He was the founder of the Lettrism movement, influenced by Dada and Surrealism, establishing himself as a significant figure in the avant-garde scene of the mid-20th Century. His influential 1951 film “Traité de Bave et d’Eternité” transformed cinema, and his political writings foreshadowed the May 1968 movements. Isou’s varied professional pursuits and innovative artistic and literary methods cemented his legacy in the realms of creativity and activism.
