A completely new way of looking at and understanding Surrealism,
with a focus on the worldwide sweep of the movement "The variety of
discoveries, detailed with exceptional scholarship in a ravishing
keeper of a catalogue, defeat generalization."-Peter Schjeldahl,
New Yorker This groundbreaking book challenges conventional
narratives of Surrealism, tracing its impact and legacy from the
1920s to the late 1970s in places as diverse as Colombia,
Czechoslovakia, Egypt, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, Romania,
Syria, Thailand, and Turkey. In doing so, it presents a more
inclusive and accurate understanding of the fundamentally
international character and lasting significance of the
revolutionary artistic, literary, and philosophical movement.
Vibrantly illustrated with more than 300 works of art by both
well-known figures-including Dali, Ernst, Kahlo, Magritte, and
Miro-and numerous underrepresented artists, this expansive book
pushes beyond the borders of history, geography, and nationality to
provocatively redraw the map of the Surrealist movement,
investigating how its visual languages, ideals, theories, and
practices were framed or reframed in contexts far from its Parisian
origins. Contributions from more than 40 distinguished
international scholars explore themes such as the channels used to
transmit ideas; artists' responses to the challenges of political
oppression, social unrest, and the effects of colonialism; and
experiences of displacement and exile in the twentieth century.
