Surrealist Vision Technique

An exhibition catalogue elucidating the anti-aesthetic formation of Surrealism as an artistic movement and philosophy. By choosing to focus on the drawings the curators have attempted to reproduce the spontaneous exuberance of artists such as Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, Andre Masson, Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, and Joan Miro. The accompanying text to the black and white reproductions review the concepts and practices of the Surrealists, images, themes of Self, myth, metamorphosis, and, of course, the exquisite corpse. Color plates are also included. Lacks an index and bibliography. Distributed by the U. of Pennsylvania Press. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
