Ultra-Lettrist
The Ultra-Lettrist art movement was developed by Jean-Louis Brau,
François Dufrêne in the 1950s when they split from Isidore Isou's Lettrism
movement.
Dufrêne created a
concrete music: a form of artistic expression based on spontaneity directly recorded onto tape by exploiting the noise music qualities of sound, meaning, and nonsense. Visual conceptual artists Raymond Hains, Jacques Villeglé and Mimmo Rotella
also participated in the Ultra-Lettrist movement.
The Ultra-Lettrists issued a periodical called grammeS: Review of the Ultra-Lettriste Group, which ran for seven issues between 1957 and 1961. They used this journal to publish their
hypergraphics, exchanges and discussions with the Lettrists' Poésie Nouvelle and with the Situationist International
members.
Some Ultra-Lettrists went on to form and join the Nouveau réalisme movement, while others joined the Situationist International.[2]
