Publisher Synopsis
"This invaluable book presents a profusion of unfamiliar works and, even better, unfamiliar talents from 15 countries around the globe. It reveals the truly international nature of Surrealism, enriching the understanding of this already richly polymorphous style." - The New York Times "This groundbreaking work makes a lasting contribution to the understanding of both drawing and surrealism. It will be a standard reference on the subject for years to come." --Choice "[T]his book illustrates the conceptual force of Surrealism in a way that, arguably, has not been so clear--or fun--before. With 200 richly reproduced images, it's like the Thriller album of art books--almost every one of them is a hit." --Art & Antiques"This groundbreaking work makes a lasting contribution to the understanding of both drawing and surrealism. It will be a standard reference on the subject for years to come." --Choice"This invaluable book presents a profusion of unfamiliar works and, even better, unfamiliar talents from 15 countries around the globe.
