La Chaine Sans Fin (The Endless Chain) - Academic Version w/ PPR

La Chaine Sans Fin (The Endless Chain) - Academic Version w/ PPR

Contemporary poet Jacques Wergifosse was the youngest artist of the Belgian surrealist era and is its last living witness. In 1945, he was 17 when he met René Magritte, and soon participated in the activities of the surrealist group. Wergifosse fondly remembers the surrealist 'gang': René's brother, Paul; Nougé, a poet friend; Scutenaire, who saved Magritte's major paintings; Marcel Mariën, who recognized Wergifosse's experimental skills; and Tom Gutt, friend and publisher. While archive material conveys the unpredictable, provocative and playful attitude of these individuals, Wergifosse himself evokes the milieu in which they worked--the real and the imaginary world they created. Though surrealism may be dead, Wergifosse trusts that experimental thinkers are ready to create in new ways again.
