Inspired by a historical moment of creative ferment in the Caribbean, when figures like Suzanne Césaire and Wifredo Lam found common cause with refugee Surrealists around the political and aesthetic possibilities of the marvelous, this exhibition catalogue shows how these vital transatlantic exchanges have resonated through art history and shaped artists today" -- Back cover.
