Summary:
Surrealism was not only an international artistic movement, but also a political one. Its members denounced European colonial policy, opposed fascist regimes, fought for the Spanish Republic, were persecuted, went into exile, and died in war. They wrote poetry, deconstructed the language of a supposedly rational world, worked on paintings, collective drawings, took photographs, and made collages. Surrealism was associated with later emancipatory concerns not as a style, but as a method, and was taken up by the student protests of the 1960s and the Black Liberation Movement. This catalogue is published on the occasion of an exhibition at the Lenbachhaus Munich. In the form of an anthology, it presents pivotal texts and manifestoes of political Surrealism from its beginnings to current references in art and politics. It thus offers a valuable contribution to revising the still narrowly defined Surrealist canon.

Summary:
Wassily Kandinsky is often recognized as the first artist to paint shapes and colors without regard to visual references in the world. However, abstract paintings were being produced even before Kandinsky’s experiments with the form. In the middle of the nineteenth century, in England, Sweden, and Switzerland, respectively, Georgiana Houghton, Hilma af Klint, and Emma Kunz each developed their own abstract pictorial language. Though working completely independently from one another, these three artists shared a desire to make visible the laws of nature, the intellect, and the supernatural. Working within the context of the spiritual movements of their times—Houghton in Spiritism, AF Klint in theosophy, and Kunz in naturopathy—they each produced abstract paintings that bore witness to a “mediumistic” praxis.
