101 Surrealists

Om 101 Surrealists

A concise compendium of the lives and work of the 101 most significant Surrealists by one of the last surviving members of the movement, bestselling author and artist Desmond Morris, who knew several of the key participants personally.Featuring 101 Surrealist artists, including the famous - Duchamp, Dali, Magritte, Miro, Carrington, Kahlo, Picabia and Ernst - and the neglected - Mesens, Rimmington, Sage, Fini, Bellmer, Colquhoun and Gonzalez - the book draws on the author's personal knowledge of the Surrealists, capturing in concise form their life histories, idiosyncrasies and often-complex love lives. The arts of Surrealism were both spectacular and international, shaped by the darkest, most irrational workings of the unconscious. Shocking, witty and always entertaining, Morris's tales illuminate the striking variation in approaches to the Surrealist philosophy, both in the artists' work and in their lives. This book complements Morris's earlier biographical volumes by encapsulating each artist in completely new short texts that convey with immediacy the impact and significance of each of the artists featured.
