Recenzii
A work of extreme erudition, Atkin's book and its transnational framework contributes powerfully to long-standing debates on modernist primitivism and ethnographic forms of Surrealism. Slowly but surely, an underground Surrealism emerges, drawing the reader especially into the catastrophic war years and their aftermath.
Illuminating a compelling archive spanning the 1920s through to the 1970s, and covering a wide range of international sources, this book demonstrates that surrealist art had a significant investment in magical practices as a means of reanimating and redeeming certain aspects of modern existence.
