In this new treatment of the subject Hopkins focuses on the many debates surrounding these movements: the Marquis de Sade's Surrealist deification issues of quality (How good is Dali?) the idea of the 'readymade' attitudes towards the city the impact of Freud attitudes to women fetishism and primitivism.

Hopkins explores the huge range of media employed by both Dada and Surrealism (collage painting found objects performance art photography film) whilst at the same time establishing the aesthetic differences between the movements.
