BOATLOAD OF MADMEN: Surrealism and the American Avant-Garde, 1920-1950
Regular price
$ 24.95
by Dickran Tashjian
The author presents a rich account of how Surrealism, initially a rarefied metaphysical European art movement, became an archetype of 20th century American aesthetics. Revealing a wide curiosity, Tashjian goes beyond art history, freely zigging and zagging between high and low culture in this lively probe of issues of anxiety and influence. Kirkus Reviews
