Introduction by Robin Walz, author of the critically acclaimed book 'Pulp Surrealism: Insolent popular culture in early 20th century Paris' (Univ. California Press, 2000). An excerpt from the Preface suggests that..."The challenge is to see in pulp culture what surrealist editor Pierre Mabille called the Mirror of the Marvelous, and this is precisely what Beric Henderson’s exhibition and book, Pulp Surrealism, accomplishes....References to both contemporary and "classic" pulp culture abound in Henderson’s artwork: Humphrey Bogart, Alfred Hitchock’s Vertigo, Star Trek, the fantasy art of H. R. Giger. There are echoes of surrealist and modernist painters: Giorgio de Chirico’s long shadows, René Magritte’s lampposts, Yves Tanguy’s disorienting landscapes, André Masson’s sketches, Alberto Giacometti’s alienated figures...Pulp Surrealism juxtaposes multiple realities to great poetic effect" Cost of Book: US$15.00 (+ US$6.00 packaging and delivery by international airmail) All purchases can be made by credit card using PayPal.
