Surrealism did not suddenly stop in Europe after the 1950s, or after the death of Andre Breton in 1966; indeed, in Belgium, perhaps second only to Paris in the dynamism of its surrealist culture, the creative energies of surrealism have continued to thrive to the present. Illustrated with hundreds of color plates, reproductions of printed pages, and photos of surrealist artists and writers, this large and beautifully produced catalog from the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Mons surveys surrealist work as a movement through the 20th century and profiles its proponents.
