in 'View'
(Charles Henri Ford, editor)
The young American poet Charles Henri Ford started View magazine in his New York apartment in 1940. Ford's stay in Paris in the 1930's introduced him to Surrealist poets and artists, including André Breton, the leader of that movement, who had encouraged the young poet. When Ford returned to the United States he founded View as an avant-garde literary magazine with Surrealist interests. Though throughout the next decade an increasing ambivalence toward the movement and writers that had inspired him crept into its pages. The Charles Henri Ford Papers, which document the inception of View and its seven-year run, are available at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas and provide valuable documentation of the key events in the magazine's history. They reveal an uneasy, and often quietly contentious relationship between Ford and the Surrealists especially once they had arrived in the United States by 1942. The papers of Ford's assistant and lifelong friend Parker Tyler, as well as those of Pavel Tchelitchew, a painter and Ford's lover, are also at the Ransom Center. View magazine ran from September 1940 through March 1947, appearing quarterly and monthly as circumstances permitted. Ford initially intended View to be a journal of contemporary events compiled of writings by his literary friends in Europe. The magazine evolved beyond this news-oriented format. Ford wrote to his mother in 1945 that the magazine's "prestige grows by leaps and bounds. View is now the world's leading journal of avant-garde art & literature. And I'd like to hold the position won. . . ."[1] His statement was not an exaggeration. By 1945 View had published writing by Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, Henry Miller, Paul Bowles, and the Surrealists Breton, Nicolas Calas, and Benjamin Peret. It had also produced special issues on artists Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy, Pavel Tchelitchew, and Marcel Duchamp, with original covers by the artists. Several of the special issues were the first monographs published in English about these artists.
