A boatload of madmen : surrealism and the American avant-garde, 1920-1950 / Dickran Tashjian - New York : Thames and Hudson , 1995 - 424 p. : illus. ; 24 cm
Art history professor Tashjian reassesses the impact of surrealism on an emerging American avant-garde and on American culture in this intensive study. He focuses on three American artists - Jackson Pollock, Joseph Cornell and self-styled "Armenian in exile'' Arshile Gorky - who transformed surrealist esthetics in their separate quests for artistic identity. Tashjian also charts the dilution of surrealism in American advertising, fashion and the mass media.
