The lives, loves and works of key British Surrealists revealed by
one of the last surviving members of this movement, bestselling
author and artist Desmond Morris. Feted for their idiosyncratic and
imaginative works, the surrealists marked a pivotal moment in the
history of modern art in Britain. Many banded together to form the
British Surrealist Group, while others carved their own,
independent paths. Here, bestselling author and surrealist artist
Desmond Morris - one of the last surviving members of this
important art movement - draws on his personal memories and
experiences to present the intriguing life stories and complex love
lives of this wild and curious set of artists. From the
unpredictability of Francis Bacon to the rebelliousness of Leonora
Carrington, from the beguiling Eileen Agar to the 'brilliant' Ceri
Richards, Morris brings his subjects' foibles and frailties to the
fore. His vivid account is laced with his inimitable wit, and
profusely illustrated by images of the artists and their artworks.
Featuring thirty-four surrealists - some famous, some forgotten -
Morris's intimate book takes us back in time to a generation that
allowed its creative unconscious to drive their passions in both
art and life. With 105 illustrations
