À l'occasion du centenaire de la publication du "Manifeste du surréalisme" (le 25 octobre 1924), retour sur la grande aventure du surréalisme, de sa genèse à ses derniers feux. Sur plus de quatre décennies, des jeunes artistes comme André Breton, Paul Eluard ou encore Paul Klee, iconoclastes et incroyablement créatifs, se sont efforcés d'échapper aux dérives de leur siècle, en inventant sans jamais se conformer.
In the early years of the 20th century, Céline Laguarde established herself as an international name in the first artistic movement in the history of photography: pictorialism. Rediscovered thanks to the “Who’s Afraid of Women Photographers? 1839-1945” exhibition (Musée d’Orsay and Musée de l'Orangerie, 2015), much of the artist’s personal collection was acquired by the Musée d’Orsay. The retrospective scheduled for autumn 2024 is the first to be devoted to Céline Laguarde, and also the first to be exclusively dedicated to a woman photographer active in France before the First World War. Hence, Céline Laguarde’s body of work is set to re-emerge after a century of oblivion.

The Aurelie Nemours Prize was founded in 2000 by Aurelie Nemours, one of the major artists of geometric abstraction in the second half of the twentieth century. It rewards any artist, regardless of his discipline, whose work pursues the rigorous and spiritually imbued plastic quest that has been his own. She wrote: "Thinking that art is a struggle against the disarray of our civilization, I firmly believe that the spiritual charge of art is the only recourse and the only salvation."
Designed like a maze, the “Surrealism” exhibition is an unprecedented dive into the exceptional creative effervescence of the Surrealist movement, born in 1924 with the publication of André Breton’s founding Manifesto.
"My art is not merely an elegy for the past. It is a reflection on the complexities of contemporary life—the dizzying pace of change, the contradictions of progress, and the lingering nostalgia for a simpler, more tangible existence."
Jaime Urdiales, born in 1994 in Spain, is a contemporary artist whose evocative works capture the intersection of nostalgia and urban life. Raised in the tranquil, mountainous village of Losar De la Vera, Urdiales' early years were steeped in the serene rhythms of countryside living. These formative experiences, combined with a passion for classic Hollywood cinema, instilled in him a romanticized vision of the lifestyle depicted in films.
