Abstract
This paper introduces and offers in Spanish the preface by Tristan Tzara to Les Champs délicieux (1922), an album of rayographs by the American pho-tographer Man Ray, which was translated by Walter Benjamin for the Ger-man avant-garde magazine G- Zeitschrift für elementare Gestaltung in 1924. It shows Benjamin's relationship with Hans Richert, editor of this maga-zine, as well as with other Zurich Dadaists during his stay in Switzerland, and highlights how his own translation of Tzara was later revisited by Ben-jamin in a significant passage of “Kleine Geschichte der Photographie” (1931).
