Dada & Surrealism For Beginners vs A Dictionary of Alchemical Imagery

This is a good but cursory introduction into the dadaist and surrealist art movements and their corresponding arists. A good beginner's overview of interesting art movements.

A dictionary of alchemical imagery takes a hard-to-grasp, weird world and simplifies alchemy in friendlier and even fun terms. Probably the best book on alchemy out there.
