Surrealism: A Manifesto (1924-2024)
A century later, we blink at the word surrealism; used every which way, the word has lost its revolutionary lustre. The drums have fallen silent.
Surrealism had been with us since Lascaux , the advent of writing, and the Bible when Andr茅 Breton delivered, in 1924, a sophisticated and poetic unifying statement that was thrown into an uncertain future.
The important Manifesto was preceded and followed by uproar and criticism, occasionally vitriolic, mostly well-intentioned. Since then, permissive associations and modes of though ...literary, visual, cognitive鈥� survive.
Our exhibition celebrates the centenary of the Surrealist Manifesto and the writer/ poet Andr茅 Breton, its author.
