These include surrealist artists who were deeply interested in Marxism and anarchism (Breton among them), as well as Marxists who were deeply interested in surrealism (Walter Benjamin in particular).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProbing the dialectics of innovation, diversity, continuity, and unity throughout surrealism's international presence, \u003ci\u003eMorning Star\u003c\/i\u003e also incorporates analyses of Claude Cahun, Guy Debord, Pierre Naville, José Carlos Mariátegui and others, accompanied by numerous reproductions of surrealist art.
