"L'Amour fou: Photography and Surrealism" is an important book that examines the crucial role of photography in the Surrealist movement. Published in 1985 by Abbeville Press in association with the Corcoran Gallery of Art, this book is written by Rosalind Krauss and Jane Livingston, with an additional essay by Dawn Ades.
The book contains 244 pages with 200 duotone and 24 full-color illustrations, offering a comprehensive visual representation of Surrealist photography. It explores how photographers such as Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Andre Breton, Brassai, Salvador Dali, Andre Kertesz and Hans Bellmer contributed to the Surrealist oeuvre through their photographic works.
"L'Amour fou" challenges the traditional view that photography was incompatible with surrealism because of its "realistic" nature. Instead, it shows how photographers used their medium's claim to "objective" reality in the service of "subjective" surrealism. Groundbreaking in its approach, the book was the first to thoroughly examine the role of photography in the surrealist movement.
The book coincided with an exhibition held at the Corcoran Gallery of Art from August to October 1985, further underscoring its importance to the fields of art history and photography studies.
