|  A Surrealist BookshelfFounding Surrealist André Breton defined Surrealism as “pure psychic automatism, by which an attempt is made to express, either verbally, in writing or in any other manner, the true functioning of thought. The dictation of thought, in the absence of all control by reason, excluding any aesthetic or moral preoccupation.” To these supra-rational ends, the Surrealist artists and poets pioneered and developed new techniques that ramified across all of the arts, from poetry to painting to cinema. This library collects some of the most essential texts and surveys on the movement. | TITLE ALPHABETICAL INDEX Text by Masayo Nonaka.TURNERISBN: 9788475069913

| | | Surrealism: Recommended Reading List of Books & Catalogs | NEW PUBLICATION By Leonor Fini. Introduction by Jonathan P. Eburne. Translation by Serena Shanken Skwersky, William T. Kulik.
Originally published in French in 1979, Rogomelec was the third of Leonor Fini’s novels. All the qualities of the paintings for which she is famed can be found in it: an undermining of patriarchy, the ambiguities of gender and the slipperiness of desire, along with darker hints of cruelty and the voluptuousness of fear.
This novella’s ambiguous narrator sets off for the isolated locale of Rogomelec—where a crumbling monastery serves as a sanatorium and offers a cure involving a diet of plants and flowers—and moves through a waking dream of strangely scented monks, vibratory concerts in a cavernous ossuary and ritualist . . . .go to book page >> |  | Free Shipping UPS GROUND IN THE CONTINENTAL U.S.

| NEW PUBLICATION By Marcel Brion. Introduction by George MacLennan. Translation by George MacLennan, Edward Gauvin.
First published in France in the dark year of 1942, the story collection Waystations of the Deep Night remains the best-known of Marcel Brion’s numerous novels and stories in the vein of the strange and the fantastic. The journeys in this volume carry the reader through the surreal vistas of an underground city that appears aboveground as a bizarre theater of facades and a fire-ravaged landscape where souls turn to ash. A young castrato sings his heart out in a lost baroque garden; a child falls under the fateful spell of an enchanted painting; a traveler in a burned-out landscape . . . .go to book page >> |  | Free Shipping UPS GROUND IN THE CONTINENTAL U.S.

At 98 years old, Luchita Hurtado (born 1929) is finally gaining mainstream recognition for the bright, geometric patterns and the surrealist nature scenes of her virbant paintings, but the Venezuela-born, California-based artist is no stranger to the art world. Though she once rubbed elbows with the likes of Frida Kahlo and Marcel Duchamp early on in her career, Hurtado now has the spotlight to herself, with solo exhibitions in Los Angeles and London, and this very first comprehensive, fully illustrated monograph detailing her artistic process and the prolific output of work from throughout her career.

The extraordinary German Austrian Mexican painter, sculptor and theorist Wolfgang Paalen (1905–59) moved too fast for art history, which is only now beginning to catch up with his many accomplishments.
A member of the Abstraction-Création group in the mid-1930s, he joined the surrealist movement in 1935. He went into exile in Mexico in 1939 (at the invitation of Frida Kahlo), where he promoted the surrealist cause and edited the influential art magazine DYN; after the war he moved to San Francisco, forming the Dynaton Group with Gordon Onslow Ford and Lee Mullican. Paalen’s pictures and texts were an inspiration for abstract . . . .go to book page >> |  | Free Shipping UPS GROUND IN THE CONTINENTAL U.S.
