Surrealism

Dreamlike, fantastic imagery With Salvador Dal? as its figurehead, the great ship of Surrealism traversed the wild and turbulent sea of the Roaring Twenties, its sails full of winds blown by Sigmund Freud and Andr? Breton. With their mysterious, dreamlike, fantastic imagery, the Surrealists made sensational waves in the art world. The influence of artists such as Dal?, Bu?uel, Ernst, and Magritte on 20th century film, theatre, literature, art theory—even advertising—is inestimable. This book traces their legacy back to its origins. Featured artists: Hans Arp, Andr? Breton, Brassa?, Giorgio de Chirico, Salvador Dal?, Max Ernst, Alberto Giacometti, Paul Klee, Ren? Magritte, Andr? Masson, Matta, Joan Mir?, Pablo Picasso, Meret Oppenheim, Yves Tanguy
