In this provocative and stimulating book, David Hopkins
addresses the homosocial structures in Dada and Surrealist art with
an eye to their relevance to current artistic and theoretical
debate. Bestriding the book is the pivotal figure of the artist
Marcel Duchamp, who was at the center of various groups of artistic
and literary figures--predominantly male--in Europe and America.
And at the heart of the investigation are Duchamp's relationships
with these men, the various interactions of those within the
groups, and the impact of this type of male camaraderie on the
artworks they produced.
Hopkins looks at specific moments in the careers of Duchamp and
some of his associates--Francis Picabia, Man Ray, Max Ernst and
Andre Breton--and discusses in detail the reception of Duchamp's
ideas in the post-war period. He goes on to trace the influence of
the homosocial nature of Surrealism and Dada on the art world from
the 1950s to the work of contemporary male and female artists.
