Surrealism By Acc Art Books

Definitive • Scholarly • Visionary

Published to accompany the landmark centenary celebration of Surrealism at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, this essential catalogue explores the legacy of the art movement that redefined creativity, imagination, and artistic freedom. Marking 100 years since André Breton’s Surrealist Manifesto, the book captures a moment of reflection, reinvention, and global dialogue.

Lavishly illustrated and richly researched, the volume mirrors the unprecedented structure of the exhibition itself. While certain works and themes remain constant, others shift from city to city as the exhibition tours internationally—allowing each institution to tell its own Surrealist story. This fluid, evolving approach feels perfectly aligned with a movement that sought to challenge conventions and subvert fixed meanings.

Blending rigorous scholarship with visual discovery, the catalogue offers both intellectual depth and aesthetic immersion. It stands as the defining publication of the Surrealist centenary—an indispensable resource for art lovers, collectors, and historians alike.

This is Surrealism in full scope—radical, restless, and enduring.
