Surrealism - Revolution by Night - 1993
This is a truly wonderful catalogue from a brilliant exhibition shown at three different sites in Australia in 1993, curated by Michael Lloyd, Ted Gott and Christopher Chapman, organised by the National Gallery of Australia. 'This review of the artistic and cultural issues central to the Surrealist movement features a diverse selection of paintings, collages, photographs, drawings, prints and sculptural objects from 1913 through the 1940s by Duchamp, Ernest, Magritte, Dali, Picasso, Man Ray as well as Australian figures Nolan, Albert Tucker, Drysdale and James Gleeson and includes a discussion of the movement's impact in Australia and nine essays addressing such topics as the role of the city as a source of materials and imagery for the Surrealists, their interpretations of Freud's theories and exploration of sexual themes, and their extensive use of collage techniques and photography' [Adelaide Booksellers]
