Description
Surrealist Ghostliness by Katharine Conley explores the intersection of surrealism and ghostliness, tracing the movement's roots in history and its unique paradigm. Conley reveals how the experience of World War I and repressed spiritualism influenced surrealist thought and art, resulting in a unifying theory that pervades both textual and visual puns. Through a range of examples from film, photography, painting, sculpture, and installation art, Conley examines the ways in which surrealists explored ghostliness through doubles, puns, and anamorphosis. Works by artists such as Man Ray, Claude Cahun, Brassaï, Salvador Dalí, Lee Miller, Dorothea Tanning, Francesca Woodman, Pierre Alechinsky, and Susan Hiller are showcased to illustrate the surrealist ghostliness that pervades 20th-century art. Conley's study provides a compelling unification of the century's most influential avant-garde movement, highlighting its key themes and ideas.
