Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"Very informative catalogue. . . . that proves Surrealism is too intimately wired to our brains to lose its charge."--William Wilson, Los Angeles Times Launched in Paris in 1924 as a kind of shock treatment for the art world, Surrealism has never lost its appeal. Many of its greatest exponents, such as Dalı, Magritte, Mirı, Duchamp, Ernst, and de Chirico, are among the most popular artists of this century, but they are known primarily through their paintings. This book, the first-ever survey of Surrealist graphics, introduces remarkable images by these and other artists to a wider audience.Compiled and edited by Gilbert Kaplan, the world's foremost collector of Surrealist prints and co-author, with Timothy Baum, of The Graphic Work of Renı Magritte, this book contains two insightful essays. Baum writes on the Surrealist as printmaker and Robert Rainwater, assistant director of art, prints, and photographs at the New York Public Library, surveys the relationship between Surrealist artists and the writers and poets of the era, since many outstanding Surrealist prints were created as book illustrations. In addition, Riva Castleman, former chief curator of the Department of Prints and Illustrated Books at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, discusses Surrealist collections in America.The superb reproductions, mostly of master prints by 23 artists, feature work by Picasso and Man Ray as well as by Tanguy, Masson, Matta, Brauner, and Delvaux, among others.
