The Eye of the Poet by Elza Adamowicz

The Eye of the Poet by Elza Adamowicz

An exploration of Andre Bretons life-long commitment to the visual arts.

'An excellent overview of André Breton as the leader of the surrealist movement as a collective experiment with writing and visual art in equal measure that dominated the avant-garde in the twentieth centuryThis book should become an essential reference for anyone interested in surrealism.' – Kate Conley, Professor of French & Francophone Studies, William & Mary; 'This book manages to be both concise and comprehensive, giving the reader an excellent sense of the scope, variety and contradictions of Breton’s interactions with artists, art practices and artworks. Though informed by a deep and detailed scholarly background in the field, it is a lively and engaging read, offering a new perspective on both Breton himself and the vagaries of the visual arts as a category of surrealist activity.' – Johanna Malt, Professor of French Literature & Visual Culture, King's College London
