Reviews"Within the pages of Surrealism: First and Always, readers will find original essays from venerable academics that delve into the significance and ongoing relevance of Surrealism, as well as excerpts from the Surrealist Manifesto itself. This blend of scholarly insight and artistic exploration makes the catalogue not only visually stunning but intellectually enriching." -Artlyst, André Breton's rarely seen handwritten Surrealist manifesto take[s] centre stage at a Centre Pompidou exhibition, which includes masterpieces of the movement and gives prominence to overlooked artists., ...plunges us into this whimsical, bizarre, colorful, sometimes funny, sometimes disturbing, sometimes poetic universe., Of all the modernist art movements, it was the surrealists who were best at enjoying their revolution. In the Pompidou's perfectly judged exhibition, that pleasure shines through as you meet these artists, all dead now, not so much as giants of art history as extremely amusing companions...Yet the real mystery uncovered is how an art movement that didn't take itself seriously and has often been dismissed as modernism lite engendered such masterpieces.
