Quatrième de couverture

"Changing life" : such was the watchword chosen right after the First World War by a small group of artists, Max Ernst, Hans Arp, André Masson, Louis Aragon and Paul Éluard with André Breton as leader.

The Surrealist movement, rather than just an insurrection against the ruling order, sought to be an authentic revolution, where phantasms, dreams and ravings would be acknowledged and taken into consideration.

Art in every form became the privileged means of expression of an unbridled imagination; automatic writing, incongruous combinations, erotic compositions opened the doors onto an enigmatic universe that lent itself to countless interpretations.

Madness: "It is not the fear of madness that will force us to leave the flag of imagination at half mast."

"It is living and ceasing to live that are imaginary solutions. Existence is elsewhere."

(Extract from The First Manifesto of Surrealism, 1924)

He is an honorary Director of Research at the CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research). He is also member of the Association internationale des critiques d'art (AICA) and of the International Academy for the Philosophy of Art (Geneva).
