Association des Écrivains et Artistes Révolutionnaires
The Association des Écrivains et Artistes Révolutionnaires , AEAR for short , was a French association of revolutionary artists and writers .
The association was founded in Pantin in March 1932 by communist and sympathetic writers as the French section of the International Association of Revolutionary Writers initiated by the Comintern . At that time, the AEAR was headed by Paul Vaillant-Couturier , Léon Moussinac , Charles Vildrac and Francis Jourdain . Even Max Ernst participated in the launch event. AERA's ideology was primarily directed against war and fascism . Among other things, the magazine Commune was published by the AEAR. In addition to the Fédération Musicale Populaire (FMP), the AEAR also played a key role in introducing Soviet music to France.
