Max Ernst explains why beauty, according to Isidore Ducasse’s formula, can arise from the meeting of a sewing machine and an umbrella on a dissection table: "Indeed, a ready-made reality whose naïve destination seems to have been fixed once and for all (an umbrella), encountering another very distant and no less absurd reality (a sewing machine) in a place where both must feel out of place (on a dissection table), will escape its naïve destination and identity; it will move from its false absolute, through the detour of a relative one, to a new, true, and poetic absolute." Montage of texts and songs by Mallarmé, Hugo, Rimbaud, Jarry, Tzara, Apollinaire, Aragon, Eluard, Desnos, Prévert. The destructive humor of ordinary aspects of existence confounds the mind by the unexpected, detaching it from its customary horizons, thus preparing it to glimpse another reality, Surreality. Surrealists do not settle for clearing everything like the Dadas, they want to create positive work as well. Let reason and logic bow before imagination and thus a domain rich in images and fantasies will open. By loosening all control activities, in a state of dream, of madness, the unconscious manifests spontaneously. The experiences of automatic writing suggest to surrealists to intentionally put themselves in this receptive state, and immediately note the spontaneous unfolding of their impressions. "Our prison is built on beloved books, but we can no longer escape because of all these passionate odors that lull us to sleep… Everyone can pass in this bloody corridor where our sins are hung, delightful paintings, where gray however dominates." André Breton.
