Description

Often regarded as an artistic movement of interwar Paris, Surrealism comprised an international community of artists, writers, and scientists who aspired to change the conditions of life itself over and above any previous intervention in the history of art. Consisting of a wide range of dedicated case studies on France, Romania, and former Czechoslovakia, this book highlights the international dimensions of the Surrealist Movement, and the radical chains of thought that linked its artists, writers and intellectuals across the globe. From very early on, the surrealists approached magic as a means of bypassing, discrediting, and combatting rationalism, capitalism, and other institutionalized systems and values that they saw to be constraining influences upon modern life. Surrealist Sorcery maps out how this interest in magic developed into a significant branch of the surrealist project. Taking an international perspective, Atkin surveys this important quality of the movement and how it’s remained an important element in the surrealist project and its ongoing legacy.
