Description
Desmond Morris explores the lives of the Surrealists, delving into their personalities, predilections and artistic approaches. This collection of life histories reveals the remarkable individuals behind the movement, from those who embodied its philosophy to those who only expressed it through their art. Morris examines the considerable variation in each artist's approach to surrealist technique, shedding light on their idiosyncrasies and complex love lives. With narratives and photographs, he provides context to their life stories, offering a unique insight into this pivotal art movement. Focusing on thirty-five artists closely associated with surrealism, Morris offers a nuanced understanding of the movement's key figures. This book is an engaging exploration of the Surrealists as people, rather than just their art.
