Description

The Savage Eye brings together two influential art movements in a unique and fascinating way. For the first time, more than 200 works are presented side by side, shedding new light on the history of Surrealism. This book explores the roots of Surrealism in Symbolism, revealing how the two movements reflect and overlap. By examining various thematic perspectives and media, The Savage Eye delves into the psyche of modern artists, including Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Paul Gauguin, Dora Maar, René Magritte, Lee Miller, Joan Miró, Odilon Redon, and Auguste Rodin. This book offers a journey through the limitless world of the unconscious, where logic and morality give way to dreams, disturbing impulses, and unbridled desire. Through its extensive collection of artworks, The Savage Eye provides a fresh perspective on two radical art movements that explored the human psyche with the aim of establishing a new concept of humanity.
