Description
Surrealism and the Occult by Nadia Choucha explores the lesser-known connection between the art movement and occult ideas. This book reveals how Surrealist thinkers, including André Breton, were influenced by radical 19th-century magicians and how these influences shaped their work. Choucha delves into the lives and practices of artists such as Kandinsky, Salvador Dali, and Max Ernst, shedding light on the ways in which occult and surrealist philosophies intersected.
