{"product_id":"78612-surrealism-and-antifascism","title":"Surrealism and Anti-fascism","description":"Surrealism was not only an international artistic but also a political movement. Its members denounced European colonial policy, organized themselves against fascist tendencies, fought for the Spanish Republic, were persecuted, went into exile, and fell in the war against the National Socialists. They wrote poetry, deconstructed a supposedly rational language in a rational world, worked on paintings, collective drawings, photographed, and collaged. Not as a style, but as a method, Surrealism was linked to later emancipatory concerns and taken up by movements from the '68 movement to the Black Civil Rights Movement. The catalogue for the exhibition at the Lenbachhaus brings together central texts and manifestos of political Surrealism, from its beginnings to current references in art and politics, in the form of an anthology. It thus offers a valuable contribution to revising the still narrowly defined Surrealist canon.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49815573528840,"sku":"9783775758772","price":54.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775758772.jpg?v=1744269778","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/78612-surrealism-and-antifascism","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
