Abstract

Blue Like an Orange
Schapiro, Meyer | September 25, 1937 issue

In this article, the author focuses on the surrealist theory of art. The surrealists not only say they are Marxists, but insist that acceptance of their poems entails acceptance of Marxism, and that these poems are necessary elements in the struggle to overthrow capitalism. Their dialectical materialism, however, is of a muddled and cabalistic kind, a science of the general law of movement of the universe. It may be objected that their poems have nothing to do with Marxism or psychology, that they are not assertions about matters of fact but works of art.
