This dissertation puts into conversation the career of the aristocratic French patron and would-be impresario of modernism, Count Étienne de Beaumont, and the conflicted relationship between Surrealism and dance in Paris during the period between the two World Wars. Beaumont and Surrealism represent respectively an older, reactionary, and a newer, radical, manifestation of the avant-garde in French culture. Beaumont's flamboyant self-performance-his eccentric personal style, his extravagant costume balls, his wide network of associates in the Parisian artworld, and his ambitions as a Maecenas to rival Diaghilev-establish him as a central figure of reactionary modernism in the 1920s. This tendency inscribed a taste for advanced art as the preserve of an elite class, and tied it to a desire for a resuscitation of the past as a means to renew French culture. Against this, Surrealism proposed a revolution of the world and the mind; an overthrow of rationalism, order, and tradition in society and the individual consciousness.
