For some viewers in the 1920s, it may have seemed that Surrealism emerged from nowhere, yet many of its artists and writers developed within the radical context of the Dada movement. Tracing the formative years of Surrealism, Nathalia Brodskaia discusses the efforts of founder André Breton, Dadaist provocateur Tristan Tzara, and Italian visionary painter Giorgio Di Chirico, while the many color reproductions included here feature the art of Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, Max Ernst, Man Ray, Jacques Hérold, and many more.
