Fourth screening of the documentary film programme dedicated to Surrealist artists and writers
This film evokes the personality of the artist, his era, his entourage, the places and landscapes that marked his creations. Max Ernst explains the different phases of his revolutionary work and takes us through his eventful peregrinations: from the Dadaist rebellion in Cologne to his involvement with the Surrealists in Paris, from his retreat in Provence to his exile in New York to escape Nazi persecution, from his stay with the Hopi in Arizona to his post-war return to Europe.
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.
Tuesday 8 March at 6:30 pm
Giacometti Lab, 9 rue Victor Schœlcher 75014 Paris
Free upon reservation.
