The book reveals the mutual cultural influence between China and the Western avant-garde, moving beyond notions of \"copying from the West.\" Utilizing primary source materials, particularly periodicals, Lauren Walden reveals the underexplored dissemination of Surrealism in Shanghai. Highlighting how Surrealism was applied across a broad political spectrum in Shanghai including anti-colonialism, communism, and nationalism, Walden also demonstrates why Shanghai's former French concession became the birthplace of Surrealism in China.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 152\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 26, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42163976536199,"sku":"9789888842919","price":37.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/bc408b858cc48b84d3e3eb330996e12a.webp?v=1733301798","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/surrealism-from-paris-to-shanghai-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
