Paul Joostens was active in the margins of the Antwerp modernism. His interest for the international Dadaism distinguished him from the other artists from the group centred around Paul van Ostaijen, including the brothers Floris and Oscar Jespers. With the circle associated with the publication Het Overzicht, specifically with Michel Seuphor and Jozef Peeters, he tread lightly. Joosten’s illustrated Dada-volume Salopes was published in 1922 by Ça ira! in Antwerp.
