What is the coverage of Bloomsbury International Encyclopedia of Surrealism?
Surrealism is one of the most influential and popular art forms of the
last century. It has shaped painting, literature, film, photography, music,
theatre, architecture, fashion and design, as well as thinking about politics
and culture. The Encyclopedia presents the first comprehensive and
systematic overview of surrealism internationally, from its beginnings to the
present day.
Volume 1 includes overviews of national surrealist movements,
surrealism’s influence across the visual, applied and performing arts, and
analyses of the concepts which underpin surrealism. Volumes 2 and 3 present an
A-Z of both the significant and the lesser-known individuals - theorists,
critics, novelists, poets, playwrights, screenwriters, designers, painters,
collagists, object makers, sculptors, film makers, and photographers – who have
made and continue to make surrealism. The volume concludes with a detailed
overview of contemporary surrealist practice.
