= Bolliger II, 527: "Die (...) Zeitschrift, die mit 'La Révolution surréaliste' and 'Le Surréalisme au Service de la Révolution' das grosse Dreigestirn der surrealistischen Zeitschriften bildet. (...) 'Le Minotaure' (...) zeigt die Bewegung in ihrer neuen Phase: der Surrealismus ist zu einer Bewegung geworden, dessen künstlerische Lehren allgemeine Anerkennung gefunden haben und die ungeheure Anziehung auf die dichterischen und künstlerischen Kräfte ausüben. Minotaure wird die luxuriöseste, vielseitigste Zeitschrift und die mit der breiteste Wirkung. An der Spitze stehen Albert Skira und Tériade (...). Von Anfang an stehen die Surrealisten in engem Kontakt mit der Zeitschrift [und] legen die Herausgeber grösstes Gewicht auf die äussere Gestaltung. Die farbigen Umschläge, von suggestiver plakathafter Wirkung, werden von den bedeutendsten Künstlern geschaffen (in der Reihenfolge der Hefte): Picasso, G.-L. Roux, Dérian, Borès, Duchamp, Miró [See illustration plate ], Dalí, Matisse, Magritte, Max Ernst, Masson. In hervorragendem Reproduktion werden Werke abgebildet von Arp, Bellmer, Brancusi (...).
