Conceived as a sequel to that volume, \u003ci\u003eSurrealist Painters and Poets: An Anthology \u003c\/i\u003edoes for Surrealism what Motherwell's book did for Dadaism. The concept and contents were discussed with Robert Motherwell and met with his enthusiastic approval.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essays, manifestos, poems, and texts in this anthology offer a composite picture of the Surrealists--their convictions, styles, and spirit--from the movement's beginnings in France just after World War I to its second flowering in America after World War II. The book includes writers and artists from Belgium, Chile, Czechoslovakia, Cuba, Egypt, England, France, Germany, Guyana, Italy, Martinique, Mauritius, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, Senegal, Uruguay, and the United States. Caws's main criterion for inclusion was that the works be the best and most representative of the different forms of Surrealism. Among others, the artists and writers include Andre Breton, Marcel Duchamp and Rrose Selavy, Max Ernst, Mina Loy, Francis Picabia, and Tristan Tzara.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67391044878381,"sku":"20503","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/surrealist-painters-and-poets-an-anthology","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
