Mit diesem Buch liegt die erste umfangreiche Studie A1/4ber Wolfgang Paalen (1905a "1959) mit einem kritischen Werkkatalog und den theoretischen Schriften vor. Der 1905 in Wien als Sohn deutsch-jA1/4discher Eltern geborene Paalen entfaltete sich in den 30er und 40er Jahren in Paris, New York und Mexiko in Auseinandersetzung mit dem Surrealismus als KA1/4nstler und Denker. Mit seinem Versuch, die Erscheinungswirklichkeit in einem Bild so zusammenzufassen, daA sie nicht mehr im Gegensatz zu den Mitteln stehe, durch die der Mensch sie wahrnimmt, trug Paalen vor allem in den 40er Jahren MaAgebliches zum Konzeptwandel der abstrakten Kunst bei. Die Studie versucht von diesem Gedanken ausgehend, den von der Forschung lang erwarteten Ort zu erschlieAen, "von dem aus eine Betrachtung der Vielfalt und geheimen Geschlossenheit seines Werkes mAglich wird, ohne es zu entstellen" (Octavio Paz).

Surrealism Beyond Borders challenges conventional narratives of a revolutionary artistic, literary, and philosophical movement. Tracing Surrealism's influence and legacy from the 1920s to the late 1970s in places as geographically diverse as Colombia, Czechoslovakia, Egypt, Japan, Korea, Mexico, the Philippines, Romania, Syria, Thailand, and Turkey, this publication includes more than 300 works of art in a variety of media by well-known figures—including Dalí, Ernst, Kahlo, Magritte, and Miró—as well as numerous artists who are less widely known. Contributions from more than forty distinguished international scholars explore the network of Surrealist exchange and collaboration, artists' responses to the challenges of social and political unrest, and the experience of displacement and exile in the twentieth century. The multiple narratives addressed in this expansive book move beyond the borders of history, geography, and nationality to provocatively redraw the map of Surrealism.
