About this title: Much has been written about Surrealist painting and sculpture, but most of the erotic, disorienting and exquisite Surrealist photographs of Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Andre Breton, Brassai, Salvador Dali, Andre Kertesz and Hans Bellmer have remained all but unknown - until now.

"Yeah, the cover looks sexy. Rosalind Krauss does not write sexy. Don't be fooled. It's an interesting dissertation on the relationship of photography to surrealism (you don't say, right?). She's a genius."
"I read lots and lots of Krauss on the way to writing my thesis. This one is pretty twisted. Women as photographic objects/subjects. The photograph as sexual dominance/possession of the female form. Objective reality/surrealist vision. Good times."
