Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This delightful book opens up for everyone the unorthodox creative methods of the Surrealist school of artists and poets that flourished in Europe in the early 1900s. Outrageous language games, alternative card games, "Dream Lotto", and automatic techniques for making poems, stories, collages, and photomontages are accompanied by the art of Max Ernst, Hans Arp, and Tristan Tzara.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This delightful collection allows everyone to enjoy firsthand the provocative methods used by the artists and poets of the Surrealist school to break through conventional thought and behavior to a deeper truth. Invented and played by such artists as André Breton, Rene Magritte, and Max Ernst, these gems still produce results ranging from the hilarious to the mysterious and profound.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Of great value to teachers, comedy writers and other problem-solvers, this is an illustrated compendium of ways to be inventive, humorous or absurd through irresponsibility or 'planned incongruity.'"-- <i>Ballast Quarterly Review </i> <p/> <p/>"This extraordinary collection of word games, visual tricks and intellectual assaults on the conventional is a treasure trove of the artistic and socio-linguistic conundrums which the Surrealists--Andre Breton, Tristan Tzara and their associates--cultivated from the 1920s onwards. Its compiler, Alastair Brotchie, is to be congratulated for salvaging such fascinating if recondite material from the various obscure journals in which it first appeared."-- <i>The Spectator </i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Mel Gooding is the editor of the <i>Surrealist Games </i> box and coeditor of <i>The Playful Eye, </i> a book of games and visual tricks.
