Full Description

Discover the links between European surrealism and the alchemical tradition

• Draws on rare primary documents to reveal the connections between surrealism, 20th century alchemy, and 19th century occultism

• Explores Éliphas Lévi, Jewish and Christian Kabbalah, and Hermeticism to show how surrealist symbology contained an initiatory dimension or "secret teaching"

• Details collaborations between surrealists André Breton, Bernard Roger, and Salvador Dalí and alchemists René Alleau, Eugène Canseliet, and Fulcanelli

Over the last century the primal strangeness of the surrealists has become world-renowned, but what isn't so well-known is the hidden relationship between surrealism and alchemy. The works of both traditions not only had a decisive influence on each other but created a unique path for alchemy to leave its underground workshops to impact culture.

Patrick Lepetit draws on rare primary documents to reveal the connections between surrealism, 20th century alchemy, and 19th century occultism. Patrick examines the hidden subtleties of surrealism to see the esoteric messages embedded in its vision of the self and cosmos. He explores the writings of Éliphas Lévi, Jewish and Christian Kabbalah, and Hermeticism to show how surrealist symbology contained an initiatory dimension, a "secret teaching" that was integral to its expression. Early alchemists used codes and word games, such as the perfect and divine "language of the birds," to discuss the work in ways that would baffle the uninitiated and evade the suspicions of the church, and this deeply inspired the surrealists. Readers will learn about artists André Breton, Salvador Dalí, Irene Hillel-Erlanger, Bernard Roger, and Jorge Camacho and how they worked with alchemists Fulcanelli, René Alleau, and Eugène Canseliet.

Surrealism and Operative Alchemy is a deeply researched study that situates the surrealists in their proper place as members of an age-old tradition of wisdom.
