The soon-to-be-renovated Pompidou Center in Paris is showing a vast retrospective of Surrealist
00:09
works to celebrate the 100th birthday of the movement.
00:14
About 500 artworks from Picasso to Dali are on show in the exhibition that was first displayed
00:20
in Brussels last spring.
00:26
Surrealism is in fact the reaction of young people who have been sent to the war when
00:31
they were 20 years old at least.
00:34
And finally they came back and wanted to destroy the world who was this world, who had driven
00:41
the civilization and the humankind to a destruction.
00:45
So they wanted to build something completely new.
00:52
The retrospective aims to show the scope of the movement, officially dissolved in 1969,
00:58
with an emphasis on long-overlooked female artists.
01:05
The message of Surrealism is quite simple, it is the apology of poetry.
01:10
And what is poetry?
01:12
It is a mixture of rationality, of thought and at the same time of imagination, of delirium.
01:18
And it is this very simple equation that Surrealism has always repeated.
01:25
This expanded exhibition will run until January 13, 2025 in Paris.
01:32
It will then tour Spain, Germany and the United States.
