Born a hundred years ago, in 1924, under the leadership of André Breton, surrealism established itself as one of the major artistic movements of the 20th century. The Center Pompidou in Paris is devoting an event exhibition to him. Designed like a labyrinth, the exhibition is an unprecedented dive into the exceptional creative effervescence of the surrealist movement. Combining paintings, drawings, films, photographs and literary documents, the exhibition presents the works of the emblematic artists of the movement (Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, Giorgio de Chirico, Max Ernst, Joan Miró, etc.) but also those of the female surrealists (among whom Leonora Carrington, Ithell Colquhoun, Dora Maar). Both chronological and thematic, the tour, showing more than 500 works and documents, is punctuated by 14 chapters evoking the literary figures who inspired the movement (Lautréamont, Lewis Carroll, Sade…) and the poetic principles which structure its imagination (the artist-medium, the dream, the philosopher's stone, the forest…).
