Surrealism and the rue Blomet

Eykyn Maclean, New York

This fall, Eykyn Maclean New York will present Surrealism and the rue Blomet, the first exhibition in history to explore this founding centre of the Surrealist movement. Beginning in 1922, the adjacent studios at 43-45 rue Blomet, occupied by André Masson and Joan Miró, became a daily congregation spot for the leading figures of Surrealism: the artists Hans Arp, Jean Dubuffet, Max Ernst, Georges Malkine, Pablo Picasso, Man Ray, and Yves Tanguy, and the writers Robert Desnos, Paul Éluard, Ernest Hemingway, Michel Leiris, Georges Limbour, and Gertrude Stein. The exhibition will include works rarely shown publicly and others that have never before been exhibited in the United States. A film by Man Ray and Robert Desnos will be screened, and original tracks of Biguine music from the Surrealist’s favourite, the Bal Negre dance hall, will add to this exciting, multimedia presentation. Highlights include Miró’s Statue 1926, and his sculpture Oiseau lunaire 1946, Masson’s exceptional 1925 watercolor Metamorphoses and a group of the artist’s ‘automatic’ drawings from the 1920s. The catalogue will include essays translated into English for the first time by Desnos and Leiris about the rue Blomet and a new essay by leading scholar of Surrealism Mary Ann Caws
