Surrealism rose to prominence towards the end of World War I as a "more nearly honest" way of seeing, thinking and being. More than another movement developing or reacting against earlier achievements, Surrealism was - and still is - a basic revaluation of the human psyche and modes of perception, a radical reinterpretation of the personality. In his first Manifesto, Andre Breton used the insights of German and French Romanticism and other avant-garde contemporary movements to give Surrealism a precise doctrinal formulation linked to the discoveries of Freud. The works of Surrealism, particularly those of Miró, Dalí, De Chirico and Max Ernst are as attractive and relevant today as they were sixty years ago. Surrealism is not so much a reworking of the same data, as for example in the shift from Impressionism to Post-Impressionism, as a radical reassessment of what can constitute the data of perception and consciousness, a theory of mind as much as a new way of looking at reality. In charting the complicated development of Surrealism, unlike many other artistic movements a truly international phenomenon, the author of the text, Enrico Crispolti, wisely makes full use of quotations from the many Manifestos of the period, particularly those of André Breton and Tzara, the leader of the Zurich Dadaists, to indicate not only precise differentiations between the major streams within the overall phenomenon - figurative and non-figurative Surrealism - with their partial resolution in the works of Magritte, but also the nature of Surrealist Imagery, its indebtedness to the earlier insights of Dadaism, Symbolism and Metaphysical Painting, and developments in Germany, Spain, Czechoslovakia, Denmark and North America after De Chirico's pioneering work in Italy and France. The carefully organized text, sixty large-format full-colour plates and biographical section with seventeen black-and-white illustrations describe and interpret all the major events and personalities of Surrealism and do much to explain Breton's epoch-making credo: "I believe in the future resolution of those two states which at first blush seem so contradictory - dream and reality - in a sort of absolute reality, a super-reality, if one may so express it".
