In August 1945, during a stay in western New Mexico and Arizona, André Breton recorded in his small notebook with a dark blue cover the precious details of life on the Navajo, Zuni, Apache and Hopi Indian reservations.
André Breton, a keen observer and budding ethnologist, recorded everything he saw. Handwritten notes and sketches were scattered throughout, creating a precise picture of these communities: everyday and ritual objects, secular and sacred architecture, dances, costumes, habitats, hairstyles, landscapes, fauna, flora... What shines through is the unprecedented enthusiasm that the Surrealists had for the indigenous peoples and cultures of North America.
These 76 pages are reproduced here in facsimile, for the first time, accompanied in a second notebook by their transcription, a meticulous critical apparatus and unpublished photographs.
