Books by Elza Adamowicz

A comprehensive study of Dada's images of the body in various media and geographical centres. Mask or machine-part, grotesque or iconoclastic, the bodily image is confronted as both a reflection of and on the disjunctive, dehumanised society of wartime and post-war Europe, and a blueprint of the New Man. -- .

Takes fresh approaches to the film "Un chien andalou", exploring how it can be seen both within and beyond the confines of Surrealism and reviewing its openness to so many readings and interpretations. This book reassesses Dali and Bunuel's account of the film as a model surrealist work and its reception by the surrealist group.
