The Surrealists: Revolutionaries in art and writing 1919-35 introduces the artists and writers whose radical ideas and politics created one of the most influential movements of the twentieth century. Known today primarily for its artists and imagery, Surrealism was an inter-disciplinary movement in which writers and artists played equally important roles. This book presents the central characters of the Surrealist movement, including Man Ray, Louis Aragon, Rene Magritte, Joan Miro, Alberto Giacometti, Andre Breton, Paul Eluard and Salvador Dali, all of whom shared a passionate belief in the possibility of transforming the world through the liberation of the unconscious mind.
