The painting "The garden of the nymph Ancolie" of the Corso by Marx Ernst and the future of surrealism

Installed on top of a scaffolding, in front of a mural by Marx Ernst, at the Galerie Charpentier where a retrospective on surrealism is held, art historian Patrick WALDBERG returns to the genesis of this monumental work painted for a night cabaret in Zurich, the Corso, in 1934 by Marx Ernst and entitled "The garden of the nymph Ancolie". To a question asked about the future of surrealism to a group of painters: it is certain that for them this artistic movement will continue for centuries: interviews of painters Maurice Henry and Félix Labisse.
