Surrealism
Surrealism was launched as a literary and artistic movement in 1924 by the French poet André Breton with his ‘Manifesto of Surrealism’. Surrealist artists
immersed themselves in the subconscious and indulged in bizarre juxtapositions of objects with no obvious connection.
They used all available media, from Meret Oppenheim's astonishing fur cup to Edward James' fantasy garden, Los Pozas, which he created deep in the Mexican rainforest.
By the time of Breton's death in 1966, Surrealism had spread worldwide and is still considered one of the most popular art movements of the 20th century.
In this lively book, Amy Dempsey introduces the key players in Surrealism and examines the movement's legacy.
The appendix includes a comprehensive glossary and a timeline of the most important events surrounding Surrealism.
