199928865Lincoln:: University of Nebraska Press 1999. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Near Fine dust jacket with a crease to the front flap. Originally published in France in 1934 Break of Day is André Breton’s second collection of critical and polemical essays following The Lost Steps. In fewer than two hundred pages Breton captures the first full decade of the surrealist movement. The collection opens with an essay composed in 1924 that examines key elements of surrealism and concludes with Breton’s harsh revaluation in 1933 of automatic writing. Among the other essays are “Burial Denied” and “In Self-Defense” two pieces that “mark surrealism’s conscious break from the mainstream and the beginning of its attempts to work alongside the French Communist Party.” Also included are “Psychiatry Standing before Surrealism” which addresses Breton’s complex ambivalent views on mental illness and the emerging psychiatric establishment; “Introduction to Achim von Arnim's Strange Tales” which reveals surrealism’s debt to such precursors as the German romantics and delineates a surrealistic aesthetic of the macabre; and “Picasso in His Element” in which Breton demonstrates his formidable talents as a critic of the visual arts.
