* Explores artists' methods and materials in order to better understand the social and cultural environments in which their works of art were made
* Demonstrates how materials can be harnessed to affect the critical interpretation of artwork
* Brings together exceptional illustrations and new research in eight essays by art historians and scholars

His current research project, The Poetics of Disenchantment, investigates both the surrealist movement in the postwar period, and how surrealist ideas and values were taken up or challenged by postwar European collectives like Cobra, the College of 'Pataphysics, and the Situationist International.
