Alejandro Jodorowsky's artistic revolution

Abstract

The Chilean Alejandro Jodorowsky lives in France since the 1950s, the poet surprises by the creation of novel works that are not located in a precise and defined movement. The author considers art as an important medium, which needs to be constantly thought about and re-evaluated. Jodorowsky considers his poems, his plays or his drawings as acts of revolution that imply changes and diverse reflections. The poet seeks a new formula with his poems or his Panic Fables. We will see in a first part how the author seeks to integrate the surrealist movement in France, a current that the Chilean considers revolutionary. In a second movement, we will be interested in the artist's own revolution, with the creation of Panique at the beginning of the 1960s, with Topor and Arrabal.
