Surrealist

Famous quotes containing the word surrealist:

    The simplest surrealist gesture consists in going out into the street, gun in hand, and taking pot shots at the crowd!
    Surrealist slogan from the 1920s, quoted by Luis Buñuel in My Last Sigh, ch. 10 (1983)

    Surrealism ... is the forbidden flame of the proletariat embracing the insurrectional dawn—enabling us to rediscover at last the revolutionary moment: the radiance of the workers’ councils as a life profoundly adored by those we love.
    —“Manifesto of the Arab Surrealist Movement” (1975)

    To be a surrealist ... means barring from your mind all remembrance of what you have seen, and being always on the lookout for what has never been.
    René Magritte (1898–1967)
