En savoir plus sur le livre

This groundbreaking work offers a fresh perspective on Surrealism, examining its global influence from the 1920s to the late 1970s across diverse regions including Colombia, Czechoslovakia, Egypt, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, Romania, Syria, Thailand, and Turkey. It presents a more inclusive understanding of the movement's international character and lasting significance. Featuring over 300 vibrant illustrations from both renowned artists like Dalí, Ernst, Kahlo, Magritte, and Miró, as well as numerous underrepresented figures, the book expands the narrative of Surrealism beyond its Parisian roots. It provocatively redefines the movement's map by exploring how its visual languages, ideals, and practices were adapted in various contexts. Contributions from over 40 distinguished scholars delve into themes such as the transmission of ideas, artists' responses to political oppression and social unrest, and experiences of displacement and exile throughout the twentieth century. This comprehensive catalog is a testament to the movement's revolutionary impact and its enduring legacy in the art world. Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and distributed by Yale University Press, it coincides with exhibitions at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and Tate Modern in London.
