Surrealism
Retracing over 40 years of exceptional creative effervescence, from 1924 to 1969, "Surrealism" marks the anniversary of this movement, which was born in 1924 with the publication of Andr茅 Breton鈥檚 founding Manifesto.
The exhibition is organised both chronologically and thematically, structured into 14 sections that evoke literary figures who inspired the movement (Lautr茅amont, Lewis Carroll, Sade, etc.) and the poetic principles that structured its imagery (the artist as a medium, dreams, the philosopher鈥檚 stone, the forest, etc.).
