Surrealism in the United States

The Surrealist Movement in the United States is a self-labeled enterprise that was started by the Chicago Surrealist Group as a means of including many of its scattered participants from coast to coast on collective statements and in collective activities. Formed in the summer of 1966 by Franklin and Penelope Rosemont. the Chicago Surrealist Group has sporadically carried on its wide-ranging research and agitation uninterruptedly ever since.
