Art and writings by Surrealist painters and poets from a wide range
of countries. In 1951 Robert Motherwell published a collection of
writings called The Dada Painters and Poets: An Anthology.
Conceived as a sequel to that volume, Surrealist Painters and
Poets: An Anthology does for Surrealism what Motherwell's book did
for Dadaism. The concept and contents were discussed with Robert
Motherwell and met with his enthusiastic approval. The essays,
manifestos, poems, and texts in this anthology offer a composite
picture of the Surrealists-their convictions, styles, and
spirit-from the movement's beginnings in France just after World
War I to its second flowering in America after World War II. The
book includes writers and artists from Belgium, Chile,
Czechoslovakia, Cuba, Egypt, England, France, Germany, Guyana,
Italy, Martinique, Mauritius, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, Senegal,
Uruguay, and the United States. Caws's main criterion for inclusion
was that the works be the best and most representative of the
different forms of Surrealism. Among others, the artists and
writers include Andre Breton, Marcel Duchamp and Rrose Selavy, Max
Ernst, Mina Loy, Francis Picabia, and Tristan Tzara.
