Surrealism and the Exotic is the story of the obsessive
relationship between surrealist and non-western culture. Describing
the travels across Africa, Oceania, Mexico and the Caribbean made
by wealthy aesthetes, it combines an insight into the mentality of
early twentieth century collectors with an overview of the artistic
heritage at stake in these adventures. Featuring more than 70
photographs of artefacts, exhibitions and expeditions-in-progress,
it brings to life the climate of hedonism enjoyed by Breton, Ernst,
Durkheim, and Mauss, It is an unparalleled introduction to the
Surrealist movement and to French thought and culture in the 1920s
and 1930s.
