does anyone know the source for the following passage i've seen attributed
to Donald Kuspit?


Given that Surrealism was pronounced dead by its own creators in the 1940's,
those who believe that Surrealism has evolved and suddenly become a new
movement again, must first show that it has democratic appeal-appeal to
those
generally unschooled or not professionally interested in it. Then it must
suffer a period of aristocratic rejection-by those schooled in an accepted
and
thereby 'traditional' movement, those with a vested interest in the status
quo,
and concerned with protecting it at all cost. So far the mention of any
Surrealist movement after the 1940's does not include either of these
necessities.


thanks,
