A question for all of you surrealists and students of surrealism.
Where does Andre Breton discuss such types of beauty as beauty that is
"explosante/fixe"?  I know that Boulez used this for the title of a
piece, but I know next to nothing about Breton.  (En anglzis, the
complete phrase may be "Beauty will be fixed/exploding or it will not
be.")
