'What they really needed according to the Surrealists, is not only the political revolution (from former DADA), but an all encompassing revolution of the spirit, that dares to break away from all acceptable morality and humanity in order to start again. But not by throwing all culture overboard like the expressionist artists did. The Surrealists did not condemn cultural life and intellect in general, but specifically the bourgeois culture and intellect.'
a quote of the Dutch artist Jacob Bendien, who was then living in Paris and connected with some surrealist artists there.
