Editorial comments: "Nous proclamons que l’excès en tout est une force, la seule force … Ravageons les musées absurdes, piétinons les routines infâmes. Vivent l’écarlate, le pourpre, les gemmes coruscantes, tous ces tons qui tourbillonnent et se superposent." A playful echo and an open parody of the Futurist Manifesto, Roland Dorgelès's Manifeste de l'Excessivisme was published on 1 April 1910 in a humour magazine called Fantasio. Dorgelès was twenty-four years old, had just left the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and intended to devote himself to an artistic activity. As an introduction, he exhibited a painting ("Et le soleil s'endormit sur l'Adriatique") made from a donkey's tail at the Salon des Indépendants under the pseudonym J.R. Boronali; his hoax was a great success (a Dada gesture before its time?).
