WRITTEN IN FRENCH

An avant-garde movement born in the wake of Dadaism after the First World War, surrealism embodies both an attitude and a group of artists and intellectuals. According to André Breton, who published the Manifesto in 1924, its approach lies in the exploration of the unconscious, whether in writing or the arts. Surrounded by friends and admirers including Aragon and Desnos, Breton defines surrealism as a "pure psychic automatism" allowing one to express the reality of one's thoughts, without censorship. Knowledge of Freudian theories (the unconscious) will play a significant impact on surrealism. Dalí, Chagall, Magritte, Miró, Dora Maar, Man Ray, Oppenheim, Dorothea Tanning, all embraced surrealism for a long time or for a short time... But from the 1920s, tensions appeared and from 1930, surrealism took on a political dimension, desired by André Breton, and placed itself "at the service of the communist revolution". Although its dissolution was inevitable, surrealism did not put an end to its influence on art and society.

Beaux Arts Éditions looks back at the origins of this century-old movement, its actors and its great modernity, in particular through the questions it already raised.
