	Surrealism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Surrealists diagnosis of the "problem" of the realism and capitalist civilisation is a restrictive overlay of false rationality, including social and academic convention, on the free functioning of the instinctual urges of the human mind.
		Many Surrealist artists regarded their work as an expression of the philosophical movement first and foremost, and Breton was explicit in his belief that Surrealism was first and foremost a revolutionary movement.
		Surrealists have also drawn on sources as seemingly diverse as Clark Ashton Smith, Montague Summers, Fantomas, Bugs Bunny, comic strips, the obscure poet Samuel Greenberg and the hobo writer and humourist T-Bone Slim.

	1976 World Surrealist Exhibition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Its catalogue, containing reproductions of selected works in the exhibition as well as a blueprint of the gallery, was entitled Marvelous Freedom/Vigilance of Desire.

		The lives of the artists weigh heavily on the exhibitions, with one room recreating the "hang" of Miller and Penrose's drawing room at their Sussex home ("It's like a family reunion," their son Antony said at the opening).
		Penrose's exhibition consists mainly of work by others, reflecting his ferocious talent for collecting - he bought work by Magritte, Ernst, Dali and Picasso early in their careers - and his role in introducing Britain to contemporary art.
		There is much documentation of his involvement in key exhibitions (such as the 1936 International Surrealist Exhibition in London) and in setting up the ICA and later the Elephant Trust for art and literature.

	The Object as Revealed in Surrealist Experiment
		The years have modified the surrealist concept of the object most in-structively, showing as it were in image how the surrealist view of the possibilities of action on the external world have been and may still be subject to change.
		Only by mentioning the way the surrealists were strongly attracted by articles shining with their own light-in short, phosphorescent articles, in the proper or improper meaning of that word.
		But the new phase of surrealist experiment is given a really vital character and as it were defined by the simulations of mental diseases which in The Immaculate Conception, Andre Breton and Paul Eluard have contrasted with the various poetic styles.

		The founders of the surrealist movement were mostly young men who had been involved in the First World War and were totally revolted by war and by all the ideologies of the existing order: nationalism, militarism, statism, capitalism, white supremacy, religion, the bourgeois family, and so forth.
		What I saw was that women participated as equals, their works were appreciated, they were well-represented in surrealist exhibitions and in surrealist books and magazines.
		Surrealist journals, exhibition catalogs, and memoirs were major sources, but I also interviewed and/or corresponded with several hundred individuals.

		Following Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, the Surrealists engaged in “automatic” writing and painting — texts and images that were conceived as a record of the workings of the psyche.
		The first International Surrealist Exhibition was held in 1938 in Paris.
		The Surrealist doctrine was enormously influential in the development of geometric abstraction in the United States, while in Latin America it was adopted by artists including Wifredo Lam, Frida Khalo, Héctor Poleo, and Matta.

		For contemporary artists, there are risks of 1) succumbing to a fetishistic nostalgia for antiquated mechanical techniques (imitatively, even in response to the surrealist paintings of yesteryear) and 2) vapidly using modern technologies such as computer generated/edited photographic imagery, without a trace of poetic thought.
		Surrealist painters could not bring even the most evidently free of their creations to light were it not for the 'visual remains' of external perceptions.
		So it is that the whole technical effort of surrealism, from its origins until today, has consisted in multiplying the ways of reaching the most profound levels of the mental personality.

		By the time she and Penrose met in 1937, both were established artists - Penrose as a surrealist painter, Miller as a fashion photographer with a penchant for surreal images, most notably her "exploding hand" image (1931).
		Though the exhibitions include examples from this period, the focus is on other aspects of their art and their time together as part of a circle of artists that included Picasso, Max Ernst, Dorothea Tanning, Man Ray, Eileen Agar, Paul Eluard and Joan Miro.
		These two new exhibitions recall the glory days before the war for both artists, remind us of their individual significance and reveal the tangled, profound story of the 40 years they spent together.

		He was soon to meet Jouve and to encounter the spiritual dimension he found lacking in Surrealist poetry.
		Surrealist poetry wanted to be in the service of humanity, but Gascoyne saw Louis Aragon submit himself and poetry to the Community Party, while Breton became a friend of Trotsky and a Trotskyist.

		The happiness he derived from his new romance with Lee was clearly the direct source of inspiration for a new surge of creativity, and several works refer directly to her, such as Night and Day and Good Shooting Egypt recalls his visit to Lee in Egypt in 1939.

		Born in 1916, still with us, and no mean poet himself, Gascoyne was one of the few English members of a group that counted André Breton, Paul Eluard, Louis Aragon, Tristan Tzara and Salvador Dalí among its infighting, posturing membership.
		Gascoyne helped curate the London International Surrealist Exhibition of 1936 and broadcast from Barcelona for the Republican side during the Spanish Civil war.
		This book covers the birth and growth of the movement; though it swiftly became less a case of manifestos and a unitary identity than of the self-promotion of individual writers and painters.

	Spectator, The: A recipe for Surrealism
		One of his greatest triumphs was the International Surrealist Exhibition in London in 1936, the very year in which The Island of Sheep was published (and it is easy to imagine what Hannay, Macgillivray and Buchan would have made of that, Salvador Dali's lecture clad in a diving suit included).
		This is a remarkable evocation of Surrealist living, with great paintings by Magritte, Miro et al, cheek by jowl with tribal art and Surreal oddities such as dried fish and a painted plaster-cast of Lee Miller's naked torso.
		The Lee Miller exhibition shows her to have been a much more substantial figure as a photographer than Penrose was as a painter.

		Surrealism was an early twentieth century international avant-garde intellectual movement that developed from Dada.
		Its adherents felt that western culture was in crisis and that all forms of art had to be re-addressed and recreated using new techniques inspired by Freudian psychoanalysis and Marxist ideology.
		The most central of these was automatism, which gave Surrealist artists and writers a method for tapping the unconscious.

	Surrealism MC2
		As it turned out, the exhibition, titled L'Ecart absolu (Absolute Divergence), gave us a splendid idea of the current orientation of the surrealist movement as well as its latest manifestations in the visual arts, and made it easier to meet the surrealists of France and other countries.
		Meeting with Breton and the Surrealist Group were intensely energizing experiences for me, and it seemed only natural to equate the energy they gave me with surrealism itself.
		From André Breton's Nadja to Gellu Naum's Zenobia, surrealists have found the fortuitous encounter to be an unparalleled provoker of sparks, electricity, an exchange of electrons, and above all a transmitter of spontaneous knowledge and therefore a means of revolutionizing everyday life.

		Although the surrealists were credited in the press with having foreseen the political crisis in some way, and having been critical of the society that produced it, there was a vigorous onslaught against any notion that their resistance was an option.
