What did it mean to put the imagination at the centre of artistic life? Matthew Affron follows Surrealism from its Paris beginnings into a wider international movement, tracing the ideas and techniques through which artists attempted to change how the world could be seen.

Published for the Philadelphia Museum of Art, this illustrated catalogue ranges from the early 1920s to the late 1960s, with particular attention to the movement of artists to North America during the Second World War. Works by Carrington, Ernst, Kahlo, Dalí, Tanning and Varo appear within a broad account of Surrealist practice. A rewarding choice for readers who want the dreamlike and the uncanny placed within a clear history of artistic exchange, experiment and displacement.
