Description
This comprehensive study of the British surrealist movement provides a year-by-year narrative of its development among artists, writers, critics and theorists in Britain. Lavishly illustrated, the book explores how surrealism was introduced to the UK from France through pioneering little magazines.
The 1936 International Surrealist Exhibition in London marked an important milestone in introducing the concept to a wider public. However, relations with the Soviet Union, the Spanish Civil War and World War Two had a significant impact on the movement, causing writers and artists to respond individually to these events as they struggled to earn a living during wartime.
Written by Michael Remy after 20 years of studying British surrealism, this authoritative account provides valuable insights into the achievements of the artists and writers involved and their allegiance to this key twentieth-century movement. The book follows the story right through to the present day.
