Georges Malkine: Perfect Surrealist Behavior

By Derin Tanyol, with contributions by Fern Malkine-Falvey. Georges Malkine (1898–1970) is known to art history for one act alone: he is the only visual artist named in André Breton’s 1924 Manifesto of Surrealism as a founding participant of Surrealism, originally a literary movement. Malkine’s paintings and drawings hung at the inaugural Surrealist exhibitions in Paris from 1925 to 1928 alongside work by Giorgio de Chirico, Max Ernst, André Masson, Joan Miró, and Man Ray. To date we know that at least 220 of Malkine’s works are in American and European collections. This publication is the first in English on Malkine. The page count is 224 and the trim size is 7.75 by 9 inches. The book is full color and there are 143 illustrations. Published by the Woodstock Artists Association and Museum in 2014.
