The Surrealist Look
Summary
In this attempt to make sense of the way surrealism sees, conceals, poses, and stares at its own self and the selves of others, this text examines the decors, games, portraits, transformations, and mirrorings that establish Surrealism's links to Baroque forms of representation.
The Surrealist Look Summary
The Surrealist Look Reviews
-- Dore Ashton, author and Professor of Art History at The Cooper Union
" Long, intense years of immersion in the poetry and art of the Surrealist climate endow Mary Ann Caws' responses with what the Surrealists would have called authenticity -- a rare quality. Her present meditation offers a fresh view of unusual value in her stress on the element of the Baroque in Surrealists' works. I would say that Caws enters her thoughts on the history of Surrealism with perfect pitch; both eye and ear alert to every nuance, and mind attuned to their grandest illusions. She offers a lively argument which, with considerable daring, leads her readers deeply into Surrealist territory where they must, willingly, lose themselves." -- Dore Ashton, author and Professor of Art History at The Cooper Union
