For the first time, the surrealist masterpieces of this important collection are publicly displayed in a major overview exhibition. The collection was founded by the banker Claude Hersaint. Already as a teenager, he was enthusiastic about the revolutionary art of Surrealism. His early interest enabled the acquisition of major works by the first generation of Surrealists, including Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso, Yves Tanguy, Man Ray, Victor Brauner, Toyen, and Dorothea Tanning, as well as Jean Dubuffet, Jean Fautrier, and Wols. He also assembled arguably the most impressive private Max Ernst collection worldwide. Throughout his life, Claude Hersaint was friends with many of these artists and supported them significantly. A mutual friendly admiration also connected Claude and his wife Françoise Hersaint with Ernst Beyeler. In dialogue with the Beyeler Collection, the exhibition and catalog now present around 50 key works from the Hersaint Collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClaude Hersaint (1904 São Paulo – 1993 Crans-Montana) grew up in Brazil before moving to Paris with his family. At just 17 years old, he acquired his first painting by Max Ernst – the foundation for a lifelong passion for Surrealism, whose legacy his collection preserves through key works. Hersaint's dedication to art, as well as that of his wife Françoise (1934 Paris – 2023 Crans-Montana), is now continued by their daughter Evangéline Hersaint and her wife Laetitia.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50378039263496,"sku":"9783775759328","price":44.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775759328.jpg?v=1744138249"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/collections\/surrealism.oembed","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
