Editing Guillaume Apollinaire (section)

===Surrealism===
The term Surrealism was first used by Apollinaire concerning the ballet ''[[Parade (ballet)|Parade]]'' in 1917. The poet [[Arthur Rimbaud]] wanted to be a visionary, to perceive the hidden side of things within the realm of another reality. In continuity with Rimbaud, Apollinaire went in search of a hidden and mysterious reality. The term "surrealism" appeared for the first time in March 1917 (Chronologie de Dada et du surréalisme, 1917) in a letter by Apollinaire to [[Paul Dermée]]: "All things considered, I think in fact it is better to adopt surrealism than supernaturalism, which I first used" [''Tout bien examiné, je crois en effet qu'il vaut mieux adopter surréalisme que surnaturalisme que j'avais d'abord employé''].<ref>Jean-Paul Clébert, ''Dictionnaire du surréalisme'', A.T.P. & Le Seuil, Chamalières, p. 17, 1996.</ref>

He described ''Parade'' as "a kind of surrealism" (''une sorte de surréalisme'') when he wrote the program note the following week, thus coining the word three years before Surrealism emerged as an art movement in Paris.<ref>Hargrove, Nancy (1998).
