Drawing, often considered a minor art, was central to surrealism
from the very beginning. Automatic drawing, exquisite cadavers, and
frottage are just a few of the techniques invented by surrealists
as means to tap into the subconscious realm. While previous books
have examined the connection between drawings and surrealist
paintings, Drawing Surrealism is the first to recognize the medium
as a fundamental form of surrealist expression, and to explore its
impact on other media as well. Surrealist collage, photography, and
even paintings are presented in the context of drawing as a
metaphor for innovation and experimentation. It is also the first
book to encompass a wide array of artists on a global scale - from
the great figures in surrealist history to lesser-known surrealists
from Japan, Central Europe, and the Americas, where the movement
had a profound and lasting effect. In addition to brilliant
reproductions of drawings and other works by more than 100 artists,
this volume also includes a substantial historical essay by the
exhibition's curator, as well as informative essays by leading
scholars. This ground-breaking book offers a deep understanding of
the techniques and concerns that made surrealism such an intimate
perceptual revolution.
