“Surrealism is in fact the reaction of young people who have been sent to the war when they were 20 years old at least. And finally they came back and wanted to destroy the world which was this world which had driven civilization and humankind to a destruction. So they wanted to build something completely new.”

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Didier Ottinger, co-curator of the “Surrealism” exhibition:
“This painting has been seen as a kind of interpretation also by Max Ernst of the threat of the rising Nazis in Germany. And it’s why probably some people saw in the shape of the legs and the arms a kind of representation of a swastika, the cross of the Nazis.”

15. SOUNDBITE (French) Didier Ottinger, co-curator of the “Surrealism” exhibition
“Surrealism’s message is quite simple: it’s an apologia for poetry. And what is poetry? It’s a mixture of rationality, thinking and, at the same time, imagination and delirium. And it’s this very simple equation that Surrealism has always repeated.”
16. Tilt down a visitor looking at Salvador Dali’s “Rêve causé par le vol d’une abeille autour d’une pomme grenade, une seconde avant l’éveil” (1944)

19. SOUNDBITE (French) Didier Ottinger, co-curator of the “Surrealism” exhibition
“When he (Salvador Dalí) arrived in Paris in 1929, he immediately became the man, as André Breton put it, who embodied the spirit of Surrealism for several years. He alone was Surrealism. The problem was that, at some point in the thirties, he began to look towards and dream about the European dictators of the time. The Surrealists excluded him in 1934. And from then on, another story will be written.”
