Jean Portante: The Insolent Insurrection. The Surrealism Manifesto is 100 Years Old... and Then Some
Lecture by Jean Portante.
Did Surrealism die with André Breton on September 28, 1966? Nothing is less certain. One thing is sure, though: Surrealism was born with André Breton, and it lived with him throughout his life. It is considered centenarian, with the reminder that the first Surrealism Manifesto was written in 1924. However, before that, there was "Les champs magnétiques" where Breton and Soupault experimented with automatic writing. Even earlier, Apollinaire invented the name. The term didn't just prosper in France. What have been its fortunes and misfortunes elsewhere in Europe and the world? With the help of visual and audio documents, Jean Portante retraces the history of the longest literary and artistic movement of the 20th century, not forgetting to ask what remains of it today.
