Synopsis
The web of friendships within the Surrealist circle was a key source of inspiration for this close group of artists and writers, and many of their greatest works stem from a collaborative approach to the creative process. Surreal People is a fascinating look at fifteen relationships between the main participants of Surrealism, among them Man Ray and Lee Miller, Jean Arp and Alberto Giacometti, Max Ernst and Joan Miró. This unprecedented look at these personal relationships reveals the often hidden iconography in many Surrealist artworks, from sketchy cadavre exquis (exquisite corpse) drawings to complete ballet productions.

Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
perfect. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The web of friendships within the Surrealist circle was one a key source of inspiration for this close group of artists and writers and many of their greatest works stem from their collaborative approach to the creative process. Stimulated by mutual admiration, these works range from the sketchy 'cadavre exquis' drawings to complete ballet productions. The stories of personal relationships reveal the often hidden iconography of many Surrealist artworks and help us understand the Surrealists' highly referential objects. This is a fascinating look at fifteen relationships between the main participants of Surrealism and features over forty works of art and design from the movement.
