In this detailed account of what was happening within Surrealism during the years 1938-1947, the author documents the cultural transfer that took place when the greater part of the prewar Surrealist group was transplanted to the Western Hemisphere. She pieces together when and how the refugees arrived and their various points of contact with future abstract expressionists, as she explores the roots of the New York School a vigorous hybrid that brought world attention to the new American art for the first time. Interwoven with the text are 250 photographs of people, places, and artworks. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
