This book aims to investigate Surrealism's precedents in visual tradition and to explore its influence on contemporary art. Taking the ideational power of vision as their starting point, these thirteen essays apply different perspectives to themes essential to the Surrealist avant-garde - dreams, magic, madness - but also mystic visions, hybridity and the ongoing relevance of syncretic figures as protean germinations of the irrational.
