By (artist) Charles Filiger

Description

"André Breton discovered his work in 1953, and struck by Filiger's message, thereafter worked for wider recognition and appreciation of this forgotten talent.
In the preface-manifesto for the exhibition Dessins symbolistes at the Bateau Lavoir in 1958, and reprinted under the title "Du symbolisme" in Le surréalisme et la peinture published by Gallimard in 1965 (pp.357-362), André Breton spoke of "painting which aspires to re-create the world as a function of the inner needs of the artist."" Alain Jouffroy (« La collection André Breton », In : L'œil, n° 10, octobre 1955, pp. 32-39).
