| Summary |
"From Dada to the Automatists, and from Max Ernst to Andre Breton, Gerard Durozoi provides the most comprehensive and fascinating history of the surrealist movement to date. Tracing the movement from its origins in the 1920s to its decline in the 1950s and 1960s, Durozoi tells the history of surrealism through its activities, publications, and reviews, demonstrating its close ties to some of the most explosive political, as well as creative, debates of the twentieth century." "For anyone who wants to know more about practically any aspect of surrealism, from its vexed relations with communism to its exquisite corpses, Durozoi's History of the Surrealist Movement will be an indispensable reference."--BOOK JACKET |
