“It can be claimed without exaggeration that human civilization has never been threatened with so many dangers as it is today. The vandals, using their barbaric, that is to say very precarious, means, destroyed ancient civilization in a limited corner of Europe. Currently, it is the entire world civilization, in the unity of its historical destiny, which is tottering under the threat of reactionary forces armed with all modern technology. We are not only looking at the approaching war. From now on, in times of peace, the situation of science and art has become absolutely intolerable. » [André Breton website, 2023]

Rédigé avec Léon Trotski mais signé de Diego Rivera, ce Manifeste pour un « art révolutionnaire indépendant » donne enfin, en 1938, la formule définitive des rapports entre le surréalisme et la révolution.
