Tranquility of Deceptive Journeys
What does "modern" mean today? From the moment one departs from a materialist social determinism, the world as it appears imposes itself upon us. I no longer have the power to change that. I've been to the movies, strolled down the streets, and read the same newspapers as everyone else. And all I see are the signs of a violently new epoch. Today, the "modern" is no longer in the hands of the poets; it's in the hands of the cops…. Aragon, "Introduction to 1930"
"There is no Surrealist art," Georges Hugnet once wrote, calling attention to the fact that Surrealism is not a style nor a method of painting but an effort to restore to man through any means possible the consciousness of his interior world where the objects of sense unite with meaning. Serving this purpose, form is not created to delight the eye but to stimulate the mind to recognize itself and the hidden range of its activity.
