Why Surrealism Matters

by Mark Polizzotti

An elegant consideration of the Surrealist movement as a global phenomenon and why it continues to resonate

"Mr. Polizzotti carefully balances the movement's aspirations and attainments against its flaws and contradictions, hoping to recuperate Surrealism's 'critical and imaginative essence' for the present. . . . The best concise account of the movement available."--Michael Saler, Wall Street Journal
