Documents of Twentieth Century Art : The Autobiography of Surrealism

Marcel Jean, Robert Motherwell, Arthur A. Cohen, Bernard Karpel

description

"The surrealist movement, launched by André Breton's 1924 manifesto declaring his quest for the fusion of dream and reality, has flourished as one of the most important, controversial, and pervasive modern movements, one that has affected the course of literature, the visual arts, even politics. Marcel Jean, an active participant in the movement, has undertaken in this brilliant anthology to let the surrealistis tell their own story, and has woven carefully selected and newly translated extracts from their writings into a narrative format that guides the reader through a fascinating maze of poetry, fiction, drama, polemics, and other documents." -- from interior flap. Edited by Arthur A. Cohen and Robert Motherwell. Bibliography compiled by Bernard Karpel. Includes list of illustrations and index. Printed in black-and-white.
