What Is Surrealism?: Selected Writings
Breton, André and Rosemont, Franklin (Ed.). Monad, 1978. Softbound. Published by Socialist Workers Party imprint Monad Press, edited by Chicago Surrealist Group cofounder Rosemont, and designed by Ways of Seeing mastermind Richard Hollis, this anthology collects key writings from the legendary theorist behind surrealism—a concept he describes as 'pure psychic automatism'. Raised by labor activist parents, a teenaged Rosemont was first put in touch with Breton after traveling to Mexico City and meeting Leonora Carrington.
