Abstract (en)

Publication associated with the exhibition of Surrealist art at the University Art Museum at Berkeley. The reviewer finds that the sections placing Surrealist imagery within a wider socio-political context are ambitious and suggestive, and that the book provides a wealth of visual material, including a number of works previously marginalized by earlier emphasis on Surrealism as Paris-based and male; on the other hand, the reviewer finds the argument in places overly didactic and notes that differences at the heart of the Surrealist project are scanted in favor of a unifying conceptual framework.
