Does anyone know the names of any living surrealist painters, sculptors, poets, writers, photographers or patrons...other than George Melly...In fact anyone connnected to the movement in France, England, the US, German or Mexico would be of interest.

Hello Nat I saw your earlier questions about Carrington etc., and so have looked for other surrealists connected with the original movement. Jean-Michel Goutier was close to Andr Breton and became his widow Elisa's secretary. He is a friend and helper both to Elisa and to Aube, Breton's daughter from a previous marriage. Although Goutier's work has been more as biographer and critic, he is described as a surrealist, for instance here: "Jean-Michel Goutier, ancien surr aliste proche de Breton puis de sa fille, Aube." http://www.remue.net/litt/breton_08Express.html Possible ways of contacting him: He contributed to a recent book on Magritte: http://www.geometry.net/artists_bk/magritte_rene.html This was published by Ludion, part of the Flammarion publishing house: 26 Rue Racine 75006 Paris Tel: 0140513100 Fax: 0143292148 http://www.editeur.info/flammarion.php He wrote the introduction to the catalogue of this recent auction: http://breton.calmelscohen.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=catalogues.text&text_index=23 He might also be contactable through the Princeton University Press, who published another catalogue involving Goutier: http://pup.princeton.edu/titles/7117.html Background on the Bretons and Goutier (misspelt in this article, I'm afraid): http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/news/story/0,11711,934716,00.html ========================================================== "Maurice Nadeau, for some time after the Second World War an active member of the surrealist movement alongside Andr Breton and at present director of the literary magazine La Quinzaine litt raire" http://www.wsws.org/articles/2003/jan2003/bret-j11_prn.shtml His publishing address: Maurice Nadeau Contact : Maurice Nadeau Adresse:135, rue Saint-Martin 75194 Paris Cedex 04 Telephone :00 33 1 48 87 75 87 Telecopie :00 33 1 48 87 13 01 http://www.frenchbooknews.org.uk/affichage_editeur.php?deb=51&pas=10 ========================================================= Pablo Weisz-Carrington is a younger surrealist painter whose connection to the original surrealists comes through his mother, Leonora Carrington. He gives an email address on several webpages - here, for instance: http://home.freeuk.com/composer/pablo.html ========================================================= Arrabal is a Spanish playwright, poet and essayist who moved to France in 1955. Biography http://www.arrabal.org/cure.html More biographical information http://www.avignon-lefunambule.net/2003/archives/Fernando_Arrabal_biographie/fernandoarrabal_biographie.html "Writer Fernando Arrabal, who attended debates in [Breton's] flat" http://www.guardian.co.uk/france/story/0,11882,925786,00.html Email contact here: http://www.arrabal.org/ ========================================================= Jan Svankmaer is a Czech surrealist filmmaker who was described as still active earlier this year. "encore en activit " http://www.lapropagationduchaos.net/cinema_svankmajer.htm "Jan Svankmajer does not have an e-mail address, and his views on computers make it highly unlikely that he'll ever get one - but messages can be passed on via the Czech Surrealist Group at [nospam:surreal@terminal.cz]. Bear in mind that Svankmajer does not speak or read English, which means that unless you write in Czech your message will have to be translated - so it should be kept as brief as possible. Letters should be sent to the Gambra gallery - see below." http://www.illumin.co.uk/svank/contacts.html ========================================================= Further Information ------------------- "d'anciens surr alistes regroup s dans l'association Actual, pr sid e par l' crivain Jean Schuster" (I believe this association is no longer active and Schuster died in 1995.) http://livres.lexpress.fr/dossiers.asp/idC=6226/idR=4/idG Even if you are only interested in what the French call the "anciens surr alistes", you may find some useful links here: http://ed.surrealistes.free.fr/Amics/amics.html Another surrealist links site: http://www.torchart.com/links.cfm Please let me know if anything here needs clarification, or if I have misunderstood your question in some way, so I can do my best to help. It was an interesting question to work on, and I hope the answer will be useful for your research. Best Wishes - Leli It was helpful to have the recent press coverage of the Breton sale to give me some leads. Apart from that I searched with terms like: living surrealist ancien surr aliste anciens surr alistes surr aliste "toujours vivant" surr alistes "toujours vivants" There were references from 2003 to all the names I've given you, but I also checked on their wellbeing by running searches on their names combined with 'died' 'mort' etc.
