Abstract: The present article offers a structured account of Hungarian artistic careers in the context of Surrealism ‒ and a possible narrative of the history of Hungarian Surrealism. While occasionally, individual Hungarian authors affiliated with extraterritorial surrealist groups, were included into international overviews of Surrealism, the story of Hungarian Surrealism as an institutional venture and as a network of artistic activities is yet to be written. The article identifies three important benchmarks that shaped the history of Hungarian Surrealism throughout the 20th century.
