SURREALISM
André Breton and Yvon Goll published their dueling Surrealist
manifestos in 1924, introducing the movement, and Pierre Naville
and Benjamin Péret launched a journal, La Révolution surréaliste. In
November 1925, the first collective exhibition of the surrealist
school was mounted at Pierre Loeb’s Galerie Pierre Colle on Rue
Bonaparte in Paris (the gallery had opened just a year earlier, and
had a Joan Miró show in June). La Peinture Surréaliste opened on
Friday November 13 at midnight. It included works by Pablo
Picasso, Jean Arp, Max Ernst, Giorgio De Chirico, Paul Klee, Joan
Miró, Man Ray, André Masson, and Pierre Roy. The catalog had a
preface by André Breton and Robert Desnos. Breton took over
editorship of La Révolution surréaliste with the fourth issue. (See
Picasso, Warnod)
