Description

Correspondence between Georges Bataille and Michel Leiris offers a unique insight into the lives and artistic visions of two key figures in Surrealism. This collection of letters, including essays by both authors and excerpts from Leiris' diaries, sheds new light on their complex friendship.

The correspondence spans over 30 years, from their initial meeting in Paris in 1924 to Bataille's death in 1962. The two men were drawn together by their shared interests in art and intellectual pursuits, despite their differing adherence to Surrealism. Their letters provide a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of their minds and creative processes.

Assembled here for the first time in English, this collection provides an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike. It offers a rare opportunity to explore the thoughts and ideas of two of Surrealism's most radical dissidents, and to gain a deeper understanding of their contributions to modern art and thought.
