David Hopkins analyses the extensive network of shared concerns and
images in the work of Marcel Duchamp and Max Ernst, the greatest
names associated with Dada and Surrealist art. This book covers a
broad period from c.1912 to the mid-1940s, during which the
emergence of Dada and Surrealism in Europe and the United States
challenged earlier movements such as Cubism and Expressionism,
creating scope for the expression of the unconscious fears and
desires of artists acutely sensitive to the troubled nature of
their times. Examining Duchamp's and Ernst's subversion and
manipulation of religious and hermetic beliefs such as Catholicism,
Rosicrucianism and Masonry, David Hopkins demonstrates the ways in
which these esoteric concerns intersect with themes of peculiarly
contemporary relevance, including the social construction of gender
and notions of ordering and taxonomy. This detailed comparison of
components of Duchamp's and Ernst's work reveals fascinating
structural patterns, enabling the reader to discover an entirely
new way of understanding the mechanisms underlying Dada and
Surrealist iconography.
