Riassunto

Surrealist Art and Writing offers a fresh analysis of Surrealism - of the artists Dali, Ernst, Masson, and Tanguy and the writing of Surrealism's leaders - André Breton, Aragon and Eluard. Spector uses a multidisciplinary approach to examine how the ideas and images of this avant-garde movement grew up in antipathy to middle class values.
