The Ultra-Lettrist art movement was developed by, "Jean-Louis Brau," Gil J. Wolman, and François DufrĂȘne in the 1950s when they split from Isidore Isou's Lettrism movement.
DufrĂȘne created a phonetic poetry movement which breaks the "structures of language that he called Ultra-Lettrist." The Ultra-Lettrist movement grew into an art form as it was developed by DufrĂȘne, Brau and "Wolman." The Ultra-Lettrists explored the vocal possibilities of 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 VilleglĂ© 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 journalââto publish their hypergraphics, exchanges and discussions with the Lettrists' PoĂ©sie Nouvelle and with the Situationist International members.
Some Ultra-Lettrists went onââto form and join the Nouveau rĂ©alisme movement, while others joined the Situationist International.
