If you can see Isou's Traité de bave et d'éternité, take a tape recorder with you at the theatre. This film contains the most beautiful 'poème lettriste' i've heard.

but wasn't isou like pretty much the ONLY LETTRIST artist, ever?

i always thought that's lots of what was so great about that movement, kinda like merz...

in a sense yes, but he had followers. some of them (Gabriel Pomerand, Mauric Lemaître... ) produced interesting works.

yes I'd love to hear more Isou. the LP I talk abt has a 'duet' with fracois dufrene so i guess he was another lettrist.
