Le Surréalisme dans l'art américain
The exhibition
In October 1940, the Surrealist group - Brauner, Ernst, Masson and Lam in particular - took refuge in Marseille, then in the free zone, around André Breton, awaiting their transfer to the New World. Starting with a reminder of their stay in Marseilles at the Villa Air-Bel and of this exile, the exhibition led by Éric de Chassey nuances the narrative of the birth of American art with their arrival in New York in 1941. It also explores the more specifically American surrealist developments, divorced from the contingencies of his initial European thoughts and political aims.
