"Liberdade cor de homem"

English translation: "Freedom the colour of man"

10:21 May 28, 2010
Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting / surrealism
Portuguese term or phrase: "Liberdade cor de homem"
"A relação de X com o surrealismo traduziu-se num encontro estético, de pesquisa plástica, de certa forma exterior ao âmago do movimento, mas que lhe permitiu alcançar a sua **“Liberdade cor de homem”**, proclamada por André Breton."

I can't find this quote from Breton, which I thought probably came from the Surrealist Manifesto - not sure of the best way to translate it.
