Jean Bonnin

Surrealism In Wales Jean Bonnin

For the first time in print




Black Egg Publishing presents




the incredible story of




Surrealism in Wales.







The history, the radicalism, the mystery, the

art and the poetry...

From Stonehenge to Merlin, King Arthur and Guinevere;

from the Welsh Bards to The Prisoner and Brian Jones;

and from Monty Python's

Terry Jones and the Miners' Strike, to Punk and the

Velvet Underground. And, along with a consideration

of Surrealism within Welsh Cinema and

Welsh Music, at long last

the nagging question of whether

Elvis Presley was Welsh is finally

answered.




This is a book both for those who know little

about Surrealism as well as for those who have

followed the movement for some time...

Not only is Surrealism, Wales, and Surrealism in Wales

covered, but the overlapping

movements of Dada, Situationism

and Fluxus are also touched upon.




For those who thought Surrealism was

only to do with melted clocks, why not

try a bit of Dragon in your surrealist soup...
