The Surrealist movement that developed in Europe following the
devastation of World War I emerged out of a feeling by writers and
artists that the world itself was going mad - and that they, the
artists, were the sane ones. This introduction to Surrealism shows
how the movement swept energetically through all kinds of media as
artists found expression in the interaction between an imaginative
pictorial language and an often-oppressive intensity of expression.
The result was unique works that have lost nothing of their
irresistible attraction to this day. Each work is featured on a
beautifully illustrated double-page spread. An informative text
highlights each work's classic characteristics as well as unusual
aspects, its significance in the Surrealist movement, and its
influence on the history of art in general and on contemporary art.
Including brief biographies of each artist, this book is a
beautifully illustrated primer to Surrealism.
