Publisher's Synopsis
Ghosts of the Black Chamber includes over two hundred photographic images by revolutionary and iconic artists working between 1918 and 1948. In addition to the photographs, which exemplify not only Dadaism and Surrealism, but also lesser-known movements such as Futurism and Vorticism, the book also includes profiles of the fifty well-known artists featured, including Dali, Bellmer, Breton, Ernst, Magritte, and Man Ray. This comprehensive and stunning collection is both a wonderful introduction to midcentury experimental art and a must-have for fans of the Surrealists and Dadaists.
