Description

The Milk Bowl of Feathers: Essential Surrealist Writings by Mary Ann Caws This collection of writings from the surrealist movement offers a unique glimpse into the creative process of some of the most influential artists and writers of the 20th century. Spanning poetry, art, and literature, the works of Max Ernst, André Breton, Tristan Tzara, and others are presented here in a single volume. The surrealist movement, which emerged in the early 20th century, sought to challenge conventional thinking and explore the subconscious mind. As editor Mary Ann Caws notes, the key to surrealist behavior lies in a state of openness and readiness for the unexpected. This book brings together a diverse range of writers, each contributing their unique perspective to the surrealist aesthetic. With its rich and varied selection of works, this collection provides a fascinating insight into the revolutionary movement that shocked the world.
