The Milk Bowl of Feathers: Essential Surrealist Writings

The Milk Bowl of Feathers: Essential Surrealist Writings

An exciting new collection of the essential writings of surrealism, the European avant-garde movement of the mindâ€™s deepest powers
Originating in 1916 with the avant-garde Dada movement at the famous CafÃ© Voltaire in Zurich, surrealism aimed to unleash the powers of the creative act without thinking. Max Ernst, AndrÃ© Breton, Tristan Tzara, Paul Ã‰luard, Philippe Soupault, and Louis Aragon created a movement that spread wildly to all corners of the globe, inspiring not only poetry but also artists like Joan Miro and RenÃ© Magritte and cinematic works by Antonin Artaud, Luis Bunuel, and Salvador DalÃ. As the editor, Mary Ann Caws, says, â€œEssential to surrealist behavior is a constant state of openness, of readiness for whatever occurs, whatever marvelous object we might come across, manifesting itself against the already thought, the already lived.â€
Here are the gems of this major, mind-bending aesthetic, political, and humane movement: writers as diverse as Aragon, Breton, DalÃ, RenÃ© Char, Robert Desnos, Mina Loy, Paul Magritte, Alice Paalen, Gisele Prassinos, Man Ray, Kay Sage, and Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven are included here, providing a grand picture of this revolutionary movement that shocked the world.
