Surrealism and Operative Alchemy - Paul Ferguson - 07-29-2026
Surrealism and Operative Alchemy: The Secret Language at the Origins of the Surrealist Movement
by Patrick Lepetit
"Over the last century the symbols and strangeness of the surrealists have become world-renowned, but what isn’t so well-known is the hidden relationship between surrealism and alchemy. The works of both traditions not only had a decisive influence on each other but created a unique path for alchemy to leave its underground workshops to shine in the light of popular culture...Patrick Lepetit draws on rare primary documents to reveal the connections between surrealism, 20th-century alchemy, and 19th-century occultism."
