Actually, make that\u00a0<em>manifestos<\/em>, plural, as two tracts appearing within weeks of each other vied for the title. The first was written by Yvan Goll (1891\u20131950), a French-German poet with close ties to the German Expressionists; the other, more famous treatise was penned by Andr\u00e9 Breton (1896\u20131966), a French poet and critic whose talent for tireless self-promotion contributed to his ascension as Surrealism\u2019s de facto leader and ideological enforcer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">Neither Goll nor Breton mentioned art in their respective statements. Moreover, neither actually coined the term\u00a0<em>Surrealism<\/em>. That distinction belongs to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atelierauction.com\/globalupdates\/\">Guillaume Apollinaire<\/a> (1880\u20131918), a poet and prime proponent of the Parisian avant-garde, who used it in a 1917 letter to the Belgian critic Paul Derm\u00e9e to describe the experimental ballet\u00a0<em>Parade<\/em>\u00a0(1917).<\/p>\n<div id=\"pmc-gallery-vertical\">\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical\">\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical__slides\">\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical__slide-wrapper\" data-slide-id=\"1234703962\" data-slide-index=\"0\" data-slide-position-display=\"1\">\n<article class=\"c-gallery-vertical-featured-image\">\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical-featured-image__header\">\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical-details\">\n<h2 class=\"c-gallery-vertical-featured-image__title\">What Was Surrealism?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"c-gallery-vertical-featured-image__figure c-gallery-slide--loaded c-gallery-vertical-featured-image__figure--loaded\" role=\"presentation\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-gallery-vertical-featured-image__image u-gallery-react-placeholder-shimmer aligncenter\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; border: 1px solid rgba(204, 204, 204, 0.2); max-width: 100%; height: auto; background: linear-gradient(90deg, #f6f7f8 0px, #d2d2d2 20%, #f6f7f8 40%, #f6f7f8) 0% 0% \/ 200% 100% #f6f7f8; animation-name: shimmer; animation-duration: 1s; animation-iteration-count: infinite; animation-timing-function: ease-in-out; vertical-align: bottom; transition: opacity 0.2s ease 0s; margin: auto; width: 692px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ART314998-copy.jpg?w=800\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 414px) 414px, (max-width: 1024px) 800px, (max-width: 1440px) 1024px, (max-width: 2560px) 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ART314998-copy.jpg?w=320 320w, https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ART314998-copy.jpg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ART314998-copy.jpg?w=800 800w, https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ART314998-copy.jpg?w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ART314998-copy.jpg?w=1200 1200w\" alt=\"Valentine Hugo, Tristan Tzara, and Greta Knutsen, &lt;em&gt;Exquisite Corpse&lt;\/em&gt;, 1929\" width=\"862\" height=\"575\" \/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical-slide__photo-credit-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical-featured-image__caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Valentine Hugo, Tristan Tzara, and Greta Knutsen, <em>Exquisite Corpse<\/em>, 1929<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"c-gallery-vertical-slide__photo-credit-text\">Photo<\/span><span class=\"c-gallery-vertical-slide__colon\">\u00a0:\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"c-gallery-vertical-slide__photo-credit\">Collection of the Mus\u00e9e National d\u2019Art Moderne\/Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris.

By then, artists such as Jean Arp, Salvador Dal\u00ed, Max Ernst, Paul Klee, Ren\u00e9 Magritte, Joan Mir\u00f3, and Yves Tanguy had been drawn into his orbit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m\">Stylistically, Surrealism ranged from the quasi-abstraction of Mir\u00f3 to Magritte\u2019s deadpan realism. Originally centered in Paris, it became global in scope, spilling over to the Americas and Asia. Reacting to the carnage of World War I, the movement attacked rationalism and social decorum, upending longstanding artistic precepts and subverting conventional sexual mores with misogynistic \u00e9lan. Even so, Surrealism attracted a significant cohort of female artists, among them Meret Oppenheim, Dorothea Tanning, Claude Cahun, and Leonora Carrington.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m\">The Surrealists reveled in a discontinuity best summarized by a line from the 1868 novel\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atelierauction.com\/globalupdates\/\"><em>Les Chants de Maldoror<\/em><\/a>, which described a \u201cchance juxtaposition of a sewing machine and an umbrella on a dissecting table.\u201d This idea became Surrealism\u2019s credo, codified by the collaborative genre known as the\u00a0<em>cadavre exquis<\/em>\u00a0(exquisite corpse). Resembling a game of telephone, but played with drawings,\u00a0<em>cadavre exquis<\/em>\u00a0involved passing a piece of paper around a group of artists. Each would render part of a figure, then hide it by folding the sheet over. Other participants would follow suit, and the result when revealed was predictably disjointed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source: https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Few movements in art history have had as lasting a legacy as Surrealism, which utterly transformed our manner of thinking and seeing.
