 Reviews 
Breton ein enthusiastic reception of den encomium to Baya den ein work be expressed insyd ein 1947 essay "Baya":Andre Breton, from ‘Baya’ exhibition catalogue, Derrie`re le miroir, Paris: Editions Aime Maeght, 1947.

"I speak not as others have, to deplore an ending, but rather to promote a beginning, and at this beginning, Baya is queen. The beginning of an age of emancipation and of agreement, in radical rupture with the preceding era, one of whose principal levers for man might be the systematic, always increasing impregnation of nature. The beginnings of this age lie with Charles Fourier, the new impetus has just been furnished by Malcolm of Chazal. But for the rocket that launches the new age, I propose the name Baya. Baya, whose mission is to reinvigorate the meaning of those beautiful nostalgic words: happy Arabia. Baya holds and rekindles the golden bough."Andre Breton, from ‘Baya’ exhibition catalogue, Derrie`re le miroir, Paris: Editions Aime Maeght, 1947.
