Andre Breton ~ Chanson-Objet (Poem-Object)
(a gift to Dora Maar)
#AndreBreton #Surrealism
Poème-objets, a format of his own invention, were Breton's signature juxtapositions of text and found object. "The poème-objet is a composition which tends to reflect on their reciprocal powers of exaltation"
Postman Cheval, Andre Breton's magnificent homage to Ferdinand Cheval, a French postman who spent thirty-three years of his life building Le Palais idéal (the "Ideal Palace") in Hauterives, France.

De ses mains de rayons le soleil entend au matin caresser le mont-Blanc. De ses pentes vibrantes celui-ci répond, envoyant vers ces mains palpitantes le baiser de ses reflets enneigés. Sachez regarder le monde avec l’œil d’Éros, disait André Breton, et il se révélera à vous. #poetry #andrebreton

Gaps in understanding are not only important, they are perhaps even welcome, like clearings in the woods, the better to allow the heart's rays to stream out without obstacle. The unlit shadows should remain obscure, which is the very condition of enchantment.

Max Morise (1900 – 1973) was a French artist, writer and actor, associated with the Surrealist movement in Paris from 1924 to 1929. He was friends with Robert Desnos and Roger Vitrac before they joined the Surrealist movement. He contributed articles to La Revolution Surrealiste and took part in a series of round table discussions held by the group, regarding the nature of sex. André Robert Breton was a French writer and poet, the co-founder, leader, and principal theorist of surrealism. His writings include the first Surrealist Manifesto (Manifeste du surréalisme) of 1924, in which he defined surrealism as "pure psychic automatism". African art had a profound and lasting influence on Western art, particularly in the early 20th century during the rise of modern art movements like Cubism Expressionism and especially Surrealism. Western artists were drawn to the abstract forms, symbolic representations, and expressive lines of African art, which they integrated into their own work, leading to significant stylistic changes.

Whose thoughts are summer lightning
Whose waist is an hourglass
Whose mouth is a bright cockade with the fragrance of a star of the first magnitude"
