Description
The British Surrealists brings to life the fascinating lives and works of key figures in this pivotal art movement. Desmond Morris, one of the last surviving members of the group, shares his personal memories and experiences to reveal the intriguing stories behind their idiosyncratic and imaginative creations. From the rebelliousness of Leonora Carrington to the beguiling Eileen Agar, Morris sheds light on the complex love lives and groundbreaking works of these wild and curious artists. Profusely illustrated with images of the artists and their artworks, this vivid account reflects the movement's strange, rebellious, and imaginative nature. Featuring thirty-four surrealists, both famous and largely 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.
