This 2005 study traces the development of Surrealist theory of
visual art and its reception, from the birth of Surrealism to its
institutionalization in the mid-1930s. Situating Surrealist art
theory in its theoretical and discursive contexts, Kim Grant
demonstrates the complex interplay between Surrealism and
contemporary art criticism. She examines the challenge to
Surrealist art raised by the magazine Cahiers d'Art, which promoted
a group of young painters dedicated to a liberated and poetic
painting process that was in keeping with the formalist evolution
of modern art. Grant also discusses the centrality of visual art in
Surrealism as a material manifestation of poetry, the significance
of poetry in French theories of modern art, and the difficulties
faced by an avant-garde art movement at a time when contemporary
audiences had come to expect revolutionary innovation.
