Surrealism beyond borders / Stephanie D'Alessandro, Matthew Gale.

New York : The Metropolitan Museum of Art, [2021]

383 pages : illustrations ; 31 cm

"This ... 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 ... 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"-- Provided by publisher.
