In Surrealism at Play Susan Laxton writes a new history of Surrealism in which she traces the centrality of play to the movement and its ongoing legacy. Whether through exquisite corpse drawings, Man Ray's rayographs, or Joan Mir 's visual puns, Surrealists became adept at developing techniques and processes designed to guarantee aleatory outcomes.
