WALDBERG (Patrick) - Lot 295

WALDBERG (Patrick) Foreword by Pierre Klossowski. Paris, Éditions de La Différence, 1983. An important essay devoted to the world of Surrealism and its influence on the contemporary imagination. A writer, art critic, and close associate of the movement’s leading figures, Patrick Waldberg (1913–1985) explores here the realms of dreams, myth, the unconscious, and poetic creation through a reflection informed by literature, painting, and philosophy. The book brings together studies and reflections on the major figures of Surrealism, its Romantic roots, and its symbolic ramifications. Pierre Klossowski’s preface sheds light on this scholarly journey through the “abodes” of the mind where imagination, desire, and memory converge. An illustrated edition, published by Éditions de La Différence, a publishing house that played an important role in the rediscovery and dissemination of writings on Surrealism and modern art. Quarto, paperback, with an illustrated cover by the publisher.
