Paul Éluard (] ), born Eugène Émile Paul Grindel (] ; 14 December 1895 – 18 November 1952), was a French poet and one of the founders of the surrealist movement.
The Exposition Internationale du Surréalisme was an exhibition by surrealist artists that took place from January 17 to February 24, 1938, in the generously equipped Galérie Beaux-Arts, run by Georges Wildenstein, at 140, Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris.
 It was organised by the French writer André Breton, the surrealists' brain and theorist, and Paul Éluard, the best known poet of the movement.
 The catalogue listed, along with the above, Marcel Duchamp as generator and arbitrator (to appease the partly fierce conflicts mainly between Breton and Éluard), Salvador Dalí and Max Ernst as technical advisers, Man Ray as head lighting technician and Wolfgang Paalen as responsible for the design the entrance and main hall with "water and foliage".
 The exhibition was staged in three sections, showing paintings and objects as well as unusually decorated rooms and mannequins which had been redesigned in various ways.
 With this holistic presentation of surrealist art work the movement wrote exhibition history.
Alain-Fournier (] ) was the pseudonym of Henri-Alban Fournier (3 October 1886 – 22 September 1914), a French author and soldier.
 He was the author of a single novel, "Le Grand Meaulnes" (1913), which has been twice filmed and is considered a classic of French literature.
Emmanuel Guigon (born 1959, Besançon) is a museologist, holds a doctorate in art history and is the current director of the Museu Picasso in Barcelona.
 He holds dual French-Swiss nationality.
 Guigon earned his doctorate in contemporary art at the Paris-Sorbonne University (France), and is a specialist in historical avant-gardes, surrealism, modern Spanish art and European post-war art.
 Before becoming the director of the Picasso Museum Barcelona, he was deputy director of museums in Besançon.
 Prior to that, he was director and head curator at the Strasbourg Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (France) and head curator at the Valencia Institute of Modern Art (IVAM).
 He was a member of the Science Section at the École Pratique des Hautes Études Hispaniques Casa de Velázquez in Madrid, having previously lectured in contemporary art history at the Université de Franche-Comté (UFR) between 1985 and 1987.
 He is an associate member of numerous organisations, including the Training and Research Unit (UFR) of Iberian and Latin-American Studies at the Panthéon-Sorbonne University; the André Chastel Centre, Laboratoire de Recherche en Histoire de l’Art; AICA France (International Association of Art Critics); the Technical Committee of the Fonds Régional d’Art Contemporain (FRAC) Alsace; and the Board of Directors of the Société des Amis de Paul Éluard.
 He was named Knight in the Order of Academic Palms and Knight in the Order of Arts and Letters by the Ministry of Culture of the French government.
Max Morise (1900-1973) was a French artist, writer & actor, associated with the Surrealist movement in Paris from 1924 to 1929.
 He was friends with Robert Desnos and Roger Vitrac before they joined the Surrealist movement.
 He contributed articles to "La Revolution Surrealiste" and took part in a series of round table discussions held by the group, regarding the nature of sex.
 He also participated in several Surrealist games, most famously the "exquisite corpse".
 André Breton quotes Morise twice in the first "Surrealist Manifesto"; after saying "We do not have any talent", Breton provides a quote by Vitrac and Paul Éluard, then says "Ask Max Morise" and provides this quote:
George Reavey (1 May 1907 – 11 August 1976) was a Russian-born Irish surrealist poet, publisher, translator and art collector.
 He was also Samuel Beckett's first literary agent.
 In addition to his own poetry, Reavey's translations and critical prose helped introduce 20th century Russian poetry to an English-speaking audience.
 He was also the first publisher to bring out a collection of English translations of the French surrealist poet Paul Éluard.
Figure humaine ("Human Figure"), FP 120, by Francis Poulenc is a cantata for double mixed choir of 12 voices composed in 1943 on texts by Paul Éluard including "'Liberté".
 Written during the Nazi occupation of France, it was premiered in London in English by the BBC in 1945.
 It was first performed in French in 1946 in Brussels, then in Paris on 22 May 1947.
 The work was published by Éditions Salabert.
 Cherished as the summit of the composer's work and a masterpiece by musical critics, the cantata is a hymn to "Liberté", victorious over tyranny.
Capitale de la douleur ("Capital of Pain") is a book of poems by French surrealist poet Paul Éluard.
 The collection was first published in 1926.
