Book Description
Surrealism is central to the study of 20th-century art, literature, film and photography, but its international impact has extended across music, theatre, architecture, fashion and design, as well as thinking about society and politics. The Encyclopedia presents the first comprehensive and systematic overview of surrealism internationally, covering the theorists, critics, novelists, poets, playwrights, screenwriters, painters, collagists, object makers, sculptors, and film makers who made the surrealist movement. Alongside articles on writers and visual artists, the Encyclopedia includes overviews of national surrealist movements, related artistic and intellectual movements, key journals, patrons and collections, detailed overviews of surrealism's influence across the visual, applied and performing arts, and analyses of the key concepts which underpin surrealist theory and practice.
