I think Prevert's belief in the real thing - whether a painting of a bird or the hypocrisy of the clerical class - made surrealism less attractive to him. His strong social conscience drove his will to change things; commenting from the sidelines wasn't going to satisfy him for long.Jane Librizzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943563452168571716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086588560855961894.post-6431808233878561072017-04-14T18:32:43.859-07:002017-04-14T18:32:43.859-07:00It was perfect timing, in Prevert's career and...It was perfect timing, in Prevert's career and in French history, that he was introduced to the Surrealist circle after the war.
