Dark Toys – Surrealism and the Culture of Childhood by David Hopkins

I chose this book for the way it unsettles — not through shock, but through memory. Dark Toys traces how surrealism and its descendants have circled back to the object-world of childhood: toys, play, longing, distortion.
From Duchamp and Bellmer to Bourgeois and Koons, it maps a visual and psychological terrain where innocence slips into the surreal. It reads like a whispered archive of the strange and the familiar, blending theory, art history, and a deep curiosity for the things we once held close.
