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 ro 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. ~ To DESCRIBE an event or experience as 'surreal' today is to adopt a familiar figure of speech. The word conjures up ideas of the weird and the wonderful, of disjointedness and disorientation, of the inexplicable and the unfamiliar ~ worlds in which fish swim through the sky or inanimate objects metamorphose into living beings. These images, often more in tune with the world of dreams and nightmares than with everyday life, perhaps originate less in our own imaginations than in the drawings, paintings and sculptures produced by a group of artists working predominantly in the period between the two world wars. Essential Surrealists 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 Mira to later and more obscure works.…
