Essential Surrealists

Más información sobre el libro

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, Essential Surrealists 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.
