The Insolent Insurrection. The Surrealist Manifesto at 100 Years... and Counting
Was surrealism buried with André Breton's death on September 28, 1966? Nothing is less certain. One thing is sure, however: surrealism was born with André Breton and lived with him throughout his life. It is said to be a century old, with the first Surrealist Manifesto written in 1924. Before that, there was Les champs magnétiques where Breton and Soupault experimented with automatic writing. Even earlier, Apollinaire invented the name. And there was Dada. And Lautréamont. And Rimbaud. Not to mention Freud and dreams, Marx and revolution. All these elements intertwined at the start of the surrealist revolution, which is thus much older than a hundred years. And it did not merely thrive in France. What were its fortunes and misfortunes elsewhere in Europe and in the world? Using visual and audio documents, Jean Portante traces the history of the longest literary and artistic movement of the 20th century, also questioning what remains of it today.
