Forbidden Territories: 100 Years of Surreal Landscape

While surrealism's treatment of the body has been much researched, the role of landscape has rarely been examined. Published one hundred years after André Breton wrote the Surrealist Manifesto, Forbidden Territories reveals how surrealist ideas found their way into depictions of landscape as a metaphor for the unconscious, the relationship between surrealism and ecology, and landscape as a means to express political anxieties, gender constraints, and freedoms, ultimately reimagining our relationship with the world around us.
