This clear and challenging re-evaluation of the status and usage of
photographic images in historical surrealism puts surrealism's
fundamental issues back into the framework of its historical
purpose and function. David Bate asks what a surrealist photograph
actually is. He discusses automatism and the photographic image,
the surrealist passion for insanity, their ambivalent use of
Orientalism and adoption of Sadean philosophy and the effect of
fascism on the surrealists. Locating the use of photography by
surrealists within the cultural discourses of that historical
moment, "Photography and Surrealism" is a genuinely original
contribution to the field. The book is illustrated with a range of
surrealist images.
