The Centre Pompidou in Paris is hosting a landmark exhibition celebrating the 100th anniversary of Surrealism, running until January 13, 2025. This immersive exhibition honors the avant-garde movement that reshaped the world of art and culture throughout the 20th century.
The exhibition showcases an impressive array of works from iconic artists such as Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, Joan Miró, and Leonora Carrington, among others. A standout piece is André Breton’s original Surrealist Manifesto, a cornerstone of the movement, on display for this special event.
The exhibition is curated in a labyrinthine style, guiding visitors through the evolution of Surrealism across different artistic forms—painting, sculpture, film, literature, and photography—emphasizing the movement's deep connections to poetry and the imagination.
Divided into 14 thematic chapters, that evoke literary figures who inspired the movement (Lautréamont, Lewis Carroll, Sade, etc.) and the poetic principles that structured its imagery, it explores the movement's enduring influence on modern art and society. This exhibition offers a unique opportunity to dive deep into the world of surrealist dreams and visions.
