Please se my detailed photos as an integral part of the condition description. Surrealism: The Road to the Absolute by Anna Balakian is a foundational text in the study of surrealist literature and art. First published in 1959, the book explores the philosophical and aesthetic principles of the Surrealist movement, tracing its evolution from its origins in Dada to its peak under André Breton’s leadership. Balakian provides a comprehensive analysis of Surrealism’s key figures, including Breton, Louis Aragon, Paul Éluard, and Salvador Dalí. She examines their works through the lens of Surrealism’s goals of liberating the unconscious mind and achieving absolute reality, or “surreality.” The book also delves into the movement’s influences, such as Freudian psychoanalysis and Marxist ideology, while situating Surrealism within the broader context of 20th-century intellectual and artistic developments.
