Surrealism and occultism intersect in this detailed study of André Breton and the wider surrealist movement. The book investigates how magical thinking, dreams, automatic writing, spiritualism, symbolism, and other esoteric interests influenced surrealist ideas and artistic practices. Rather than treating surrealism solely as an artistic rebellion, it reveals the movement's fascination with hidden dimensions of consciousness and alternative forms of knowledge. Historical and intellectual context helps explain why occult traditions became attractive to artists seeking to escape conventional ways of seeing the world. The result is an insightful study of the relationship between avant-garde art and Western esotericism.
