Abstract

Paul Paon (Paul Păun / Zaharia, 1915-1994) was a key member of the short-lived but significant Bucharest surrealist group during the 1940s; he continued his activities as an artist, writer and theorist, and his networked connections to surrealist and other creative circles, in Bucharest and Tel Aviv from the 1950s to the 1990s. This first and definitive monograph on the artist is the catalogue for the first major survey exhibition of his work at Galerie Métamorphoses, Paris, summer 2022. The essay Une explosion lente: le Carnet de Paul Paon’ looks at a little-known but significant element of Paon’s thought, a previously unpublished notebook containing his critical and philosophical perspectives on art theory and practice, a work that allows the reader to locate Paon’s distinctive thought and practice within his wider international contexts.
