Marcel DUCHAMP / Le Surrealisme en 1947 Exposition Internationale de 1st Edition

Description: Le Surrealisme en 1947 (Exposition Internationale de Surrealisme) Author: DUCHAMP, Marcel and Andre Breton Title: Le Surrealisme en 1947 (Exposition Internationale de Surrealisme) Publication: (Paris): Pierre A Feu / Maeght Editeur, 1947 Edition: First Edition thus Description: Softcover. Square quarto, 140pp., illustrated. The regular edition (not numbered) of this important catalogue of Surrealist works exhibited by Marcel Duchamp and Andre Breton in 1947, a landmark exhibition following the Second World War. A notoriously fragile book, almost designed to fall apart, this is a very fresh copy, with a few tiny nicks at the extremities, and inevitable browning to the paper, but really about fine. A study by Imre Joszef Balazs entitled "Le Surrealisme en 1947: The Export and Exchange of Ideas in Post-War International Surrealism" begins with this description of the event: "The International Surrealist Exhibition of 1947 entitled Le Surréalisme en 1947, organized at the Maeght gallery in Paris, may be considered as a conversion point in the history of Surrealism, opening up (short-term) possibilities for new groups and generations desiring to join the movement, while at the same time it represented the closing moment for several small-scale Surrealist projects set up by individuals and groups. Using the opportunity presented by the exhibition, young French and Belgian Surrealists turned against the group of artists gathered around Breton and initiated the establishment of a group of revolutionary Surrealists. Shortly afterwards, the relationship worsened between Breton and those members of the group personally committed to upholding the values of the pre-World War Surrealist group, and new exclusions and severances occurred as a result - not for the first or last time in the history of the movement."
