Obscure Objects of Desire

Obscure Objects of Desire

By Johanna Malt

0 - Default Title
Description
Through the analysis of narratives, paintings and objets surrealistes by Breton, Aragon, Dali, and others, Malt examines how the object emerges as psychologically and historically marked in the surrealist context, functioning as both fetish and fetishized commodity. Responding to recent debates about the role of the uncanny and the representation of the body in surrealist art and literature, Malt's study offers new perspectives on familiar works such as the paintings of Salvador Dali as well as illuminating relatively neglected ones such as Breton's poemes-objets.
