Bohn (foreign languages, Illinois State University) examines the literary and artistic developments that influenced the creation of the international Surrealist movement. Looking at Cubism, Metaphysical Art, Dada, and Surrealism itself, the study emphasizes these movements' aversion to mimesis and considers the strategies they devised to replace it. The use of imagery is specifically discussed. Black and white illustrations are included. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
