Surrealism was one of the most influential movements of the
twentieth century and had a profound impact on all forms of
culture. It was a philosophy and a way of life for some of the most
brilliant artists of the century. This is the first book to examine
in depth its impact in the wider fields of design and the
decorative arts and its sometimes uneasy relationship with the
commercial world. From the sensuality of Dali's Mae West Lips Sofa
to Schiaparelli's extraordinary 'Tear' dress, Surrealism produced
some of the most emotive objects ever created. In this
ground-breaking book, works in all media from artists and designers
such as Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso, Man Ray, Alexander Calder, Max
Ernst and Joan Miro will be used to explore some of Surrealism's
dominant themes. Containing over 350 stunning illustrations,
including previously unpublished works in private collections and
specially commissioned photographs, the range of objects spans
painting, sculpture, works on paper, bookbindings, jewellery,
ceramics, glass, textiles, furniture, fashion, film and
photography.
