Paul Éluard

He was one of the most distinctive voices of Surrealism: in his verses, passion, dreams, and the longing for freedom meet. He loved women, life, and poetry, blended reality with fantasy, and steadfastly defended human dignity. His words inspired literature and visual art and still make him a symbol of sensitivity, courage, and faith in humanity.
