Description
Desmond Morris's 101 Surrealists is a concise and engaging compendium of the lives and work of the most significant figures in this influential artistic movement. Written by one of the last surviving members of the movement, who knew many of these artists personally, the book offers a unique insight into their personalities, predilections, character strengths and flaws. From famous names like Duchamp and Dali to lesser-known artists such as Mesens and Rimmington, this book draws on Morris's personal knowledge to capture the life histories, idiosyncrasies and often-complex love lives of these remarkable individuals. With potted summaries and punchy anecdotes, Morris illuminates striking variations in artistic approach to Surrealist philosophy, both in their works and lives. This book is a companion piece to Morris's earlier biographical volumes, offering concise and abridged texts that convey the impact and significance of each artist featured.
