Summary/Abstract: Post-war Surrealism was often considered by contemporaries as no more than an appendix to thecurrent’s glorious interwar period. However, the international dimension and impact of Surrealismwas prominently acknowledged after the Second World War. The present article identifies the 1947International Surrealist Exhibition as a site and model of mutual intellectual exchange and examines,from the point of view of the authors participating in the exhibition, the sort of importance that wasattached to the participation itself, and the way in which these authors positioned themselves relativeto Surrealism, before and after the event. Through these contributions and their preparationdocumented in letter exchanges, a post-war Surrealist network structure is outlined.
