First screening of the documentary film programme dedicated to surrealist artists and writers

Jacqueline Lamba crossed the 20th century rubbing shoulders with the greatest artists of the pictorial and literary avant-garde. Free, independent, rebellious, and uncompromising, she never stopped fighting to devote herself to her art. After meeting André Breton in 1934, described in the pages of the book L'Amour fou, she married him the following year and participated in the Surrealist group's prolific activities until 1945.

On the occasion of the exhibition "Alberto Giacometti / André Breton, Surrealist friendships", the Institut Giacometti proposes, in partnership with the Association Atelier André Breton and the Collection Phares, a programme of documentary films devoted to surrealist artists and writers: Jacqueline Lamba, Max Ernst, Claude Cahun, Victor Brauner, Dora Maar, Yves Tanguy and André Breton.
