Analyzes the manner in which twentieth-century artists, beginning with French Surrealists of the 1920s, have appropriated concepts and imagery from the western alchemical tradition. This study examines artistic production from 1920 onwards, with an emphasis on the 1970s to 2000, discussing familiar names such as Andre Breton, and Yves Klein.
