Details

From September 2024 to January 2025, the Centre Pompidou celebrated the 100th anniversary of André Breton’s Surrealist Manifesto. Over the following two years, their unprecedented Surrealist exhibition toured art galleries around the world, accompanied by this special catalogue.

 

By rejecting the gross linearity that had typified several centuries of preceding artworks, the legendary Surrealists, Magritte, Ernst, Carrington, Dalí, Tanning and so many others, reached beyond the façade of what was patently visible and found something more. Featuring original essays from leading academics and excerpts from the Surrealist Manifesto itself.
