Surrealism, 100 years later, at the Center Pompidou in Paris

ESSAY: Most Surrealists had participated in the First World War, André Breton and Louis Aragon, for example, were sent to the front as medical students on the French side, and Max Ernst was an artilleryman in the German army. The senseless trench warfare endowed the Surrealists with an intense hatred of the ideals to which the warring parties referred. The plan was to initiate the necessary dismantling of the basic categories of the capitalist mode of production such as profit and wage labor, but also art and literature as activities reserved for a few selected individuals.
