Abstract

jean Cocteau once wrote, "true realism consists of revealing the surprising things which habit keeps covered and prevents us from seeing." But where do we find this "true realism?" Since our reality is blinded by our habit, daily rituals, obligations, and preconceived notions, it seems fruitless to look at our own lives to find realism, as sadly ironic as that is. Many artists have struggled with showing "the real," and how to comment on social, political, and cultural issues. What medium? Which font? During the late 1950's as France left behind the Fourth Republic and ushered in General de Gaulle's Fifth Republic, a new breed of artists emerged. These were authors, critics, and students. They were young and they were tired of the stagnancy of culture, art, and film.
