Dada Manifesto on Feeble Love and Bitter Love designed and inscribed by Rostislav Vaněk — both cover variants

Tzara, Tristan. Dada Manifest o lásce slabé a o lásce hořké [Dada Manifesto on Feeble Love and Bitter Love].

Prague: Vysoká škola uměleckoprůmyslová (UMPRUM) [Academy of Arts, Architecture & Design in Prague], 1969.

21 × 15 cm. Four-panel double-windowed cover with loosely inserted gatherings. Text in Czech. Translation of Tzara’s 1920 Manifeste Dada de l’amour faible et de l’amour amer.

Designed and created as a seminar project by Rostislav Vaněk in the studio of Prof. Karel Svolinský, and printed by Jiří Eiselt and Václav Vejvoda in the UMPRUM printing workshops.

Two distinct cover variants are known:

Variant A: Orange and black typographic design with repeated “Dada” motif in bold, vertically staggered letterforms.

Variant B: Orange cover featuring a die-cut double window, revealing a black-and-white “Dada” composition beneath.

The copy with the black-and-orange cover is inscribed in pencil by Vaněk to “Pan Fulín,” almost certainly the Czech typographer Miloslav Fulín.
