A Cavalier History of Surrealism / by Jules-Francois Dupuis (Raoul Vaneigem) ; Translated by Donald Nicholson-Smith
1999, First Edition. Edinburgh ; San Francisco : AK Press. What was living and what was dead in Surrealism? This collection responds to this question unequivocally, examining not only the artistic aspects of surrealism, but its political aspects. If there is any truth to the notion that the drowning see their whole life replayed before their eyes in a few short seconds, Surrealism may well be described as the last dream of a foundering culture. Jules-Francois Dupuis was a pseudonym of the Belgian writer Raoul Veneigem, who was a leading light in the Situationist International. Translated by Donald Nicholson-Smith. Fine paperback copy. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 131 pages; Physical desc. : 131 p. ; 23 cm. Originally published as Histoire desinvolte du surrealisme: Nonville : Paul Vermont, 1977. Includes bibliographical references. Translated from the French. Subject: Arts, Modern - 20th century.
