The First Two, The 'Exposition Internationale Du Surrealisme' (1938) And The 'Dream Of Venus' At The New York World'S Fair (1939), Dealt With The Fetishization Of The Female Body. The Third, 'First Papers Of Surrealism' (1942), Focused Not On The Figure But On The Entire Expanse Of The Exhibition Space, Thus Contributing To The Development Of Nonfigurative Art In New York. Kachur Presents A Full Visual And Verbal Reconstruction Of Each Of The Exhibitions, Evoking The Sequence That The Contemporary Viewer Would Have Encountered.The Book Considers Marcel Duchamp And Salvador Dali, Two Artists Who Are Not Usually Compared, Within A Common Framework.
