Surrealism in Belgium: 1924-2004

by Xavier Canonne

Surrealism did not suddenly stop in Europe after the 1950s, or after the death of Andre Breton in 1966; indeed, in Belgium, perhaps second only to Paris in the dynamism of its surrealist culture, the creative energies of surrealism have continued to thrive to the present. Illustrated with hundreds of color plates, reproductions of printed pages, and photos of surrealist artists and writers, this large and beautifully produced catalog from the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Mons surveys surrealist work as a movement through the 20th century and profiles its proponents.(Tanitim Bulteninden)Sayfa 351Baski 2014 Mercatorfonds

[Joe Simpkins · Rating 5 out of 5]

Some biographies, although depicting real events dulled by the passing of time, shine with the magic of the days it recounts.

For this book is an act of magic, specifically necromancy, of which the forgotten ghosts that haunt our society can become solid once more through paper and word.

A book about Belgium Surrealism, written by a Beglium surrealist. It tackles Surrealism from a perspective the rotten critics could never dream of capturing. (As you can tell I love this book)
