    "There are no tyrannies that would not try to limit art, because they can see the power of art. Art can tell the world things that cannot be shared otherwise. It is art that conveys feelings."

     - Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine

    The Joy of the Experience of Totality
    Jan Cox
    Text , 2 p

    In this manuscript Cox speaks positively about surrealism, contextualizing it in terms of the aftermath of WWI as well as in reaction to an unjust and conformist colonial world.  Surrealism sought to coherently 'repair' mankind, to provide a joy of experience of the whole.  This text appears to be an earlier version of his ‘The Meaning of Surrealism’.
