Essential Surrealists
Overview: Surrealism proved to be one of the most significant literary and artistic movements of the twentieth century. It changed the intellectual landscape of our time and its legacy - still evident in the way artists, writers, film-makers and even advertising agencies continue to explore and exploit the subjective inner world that Surrealism attempted to reveal - continues to shape the way we view the world and our role within it. Written with a comprehensive introduction, this book looks at all aspects of the art of the Surrealist movement. The book contains commentary on 120 Surrealist works. Some of these are considered the most important pieces; others may be less well-known, but they are equally essential to the artistic and philosophical development of the group. This book examines the work of the Surrealists in detail, from the early artistic influence of Henri Rousseau to the paintings of household names such as Magritte and Miro to later and more obsure works.
