{"product_id":"the-history-of-surrealism","title":"The History of Surrealism","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"I believe \" Andr Breton said  \"in the future resolution of the states of dream and reality--in appearance so contradictory--in a sort of absolute reality  or surralit.\" The Surrealist movement  born in the 1920s out of the ferment of Dada  committed to revolution against bourgeois rationalism  and inspired by Freudian exploration of the unconscious  has reverberated more widely and deeply than perhaps any other art movement in our century. Its automatism  biomorphic shapes  visionary mode  and manipulation of found objects mark the work of artists as different as Ernst  Mir  Magritte  and Dali. Maurice Nadeaus History of Surrealism  first published in French in 1944 and in English in 1965  has become a classic. It is both lucid and authoritative--by far the best overall account of this complex movement. Nadeau traces the evolution of Surrealism  bringing to life its many internal debates about politics and art. He relates the movement to its intellectual and artistic environment. And he provides the statements and manifestos of Breton  Aragon  Tzara  and others.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44959063932981,"sku":"ByrdShop_1870495039","price":226.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781870495035.jpg?v=1770913434","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-history-of-surrealism","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
