From - Revolution of the Mind: The Life of Andre Breton

"Breton was a lover of love in a world that believes in prostitution." A series that is from Revolution of the Mind which is the first and only biography in English of Breton the leader of the Surrealists movement. The works are not illustration which of course would be contrary to the subject, but rather my visual record from the biography.  A majority of the works are mixed media works, and most approximately 28" x 22." I have added passages from the biography.   This website is still being developed. Details, corrections, and improvements will be added.  Thank you for your patience.
