'Grace Pailthorpe and Reube…n Mednikoff embarked on an extraordinary psychological and artistic journey. This book charts that journey and their complex involvement with the British Surrealist Group which ended in 1940 with their expulsion from the Group and their departure for the United States. In doing so it sheds new light on the history of Surrealism in Britain and on the nature of their highly charged process of psychoanalytic enquiry, the scientific programme that was at the heart of their artistic project. The primary focus of their research and resulting artwork was the use of paintings and drawings as instruments of deep psychic investigation.'.
