Synopsis
New Surrealism: The Uncanny in Contemporary Painting by Robert Zeller offers a sweeping exposition of both historical Surrealism and its legacy in the world of contemporary art. It demonstrates the many ways in which the most significant art movement of the last century continues to be relevant today, featuring an international selection of contemporary artists whose compositions and studio practice reveal its influence.
On the occasion of the centennial of the Surrealist Manifesto (1924-2024) there are many modalities of historical Surrealism that still maintain contemporary currency: presenting the familiar as unfamiliar and uncanny, the juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated imagery, the use of absurdity to critique political or social issues, and the use of erotic imagery in an irrational, non-linear context. Not all the artists brought together in this book self-identify as Surrealist, per se, but each uses some variation of Surrealism in a personal manner.
The book begins with a study of the origins, leadership, participating artists, and major milestones of historical Surrealism. Zeller chronicles the movement starting at the end of World War I and the birth of Dada. The most important players and events emerge throughout the timeline of events—from the early years in Paris and Brussles, through the American diaspora in World War II, and such notable artists as Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, Leonora Carrington, and many others—up until the death of its leader Andre Breton in 1966.
Zeller then explores how elements of New Surrealism are being put into practice in the contemporary art world. Section Two offers a survey of 29 contemporary artists who engage in New Surrealism's seemingly unlimited variations of the movement's original themes, including Rosa Loy, Glenn Brown, and Arghavan Khosravi. Section Three features 14 artists, including important contemporary artists such as Inka Essenhigh, Ginny Casey and Anna Weyant, who speak to Surrealism's influence on their studio practice, detailing in their own words how they create a composition from start to finish.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Inglés. New Surrealism introduces an overview of the history of Surrealism and then shows how the themes explored by the early Surrealists are still present in contemporary drawing and composition. Alongside a survey of contemporary Surrealism, the book also features a special section devoted to the working methods of fourteen artists from today, taking you into their studios to see how they create their artwork. The Surrealist movement may be over a hundred years old, but it is still relevant to the wide swath of contemporary artists working in seemingly unlimited variations of its original themes. Not all the artists brought together in this book self-identify as Surrealist per se, but each uses some variation on the primary themes of Surrealism in a personal and diverse manner. Many of the modalities of Surrealism still maintain contemporary currency: presenting the familiar as unfamiliar and uncanny, the juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated imagery and the use of absurdity to critique political or social issues, as well as the use of erotic imagery in an irrational, non-linear context. A seemingly ordinary scene can be alternately absurd, exotic, and sensual, allowing a window into the artistâs subconscious. Another distinguishing aspect of the Surrealist movement was its use of dream landscapes, constructing a world of oneâs own, from an internal headspace within, populated by a cast of characters and themes unique to that particular artistâs vision. There are many contemporary artists who still work within that convention today. Beginning with Hieronymus Bosch and other visionary artists who were precursors of Surrealism, the book sweeps forward to Paris in 1919 to Andre Breton, the Dadaists, and the early Surrealists. The book surveys the over one hundred years of Surrealist composition, featuring a wide range of diverse artists, from the early and mid-20th century to today. The historical artists featured include Kay Sage, Leonora Carrington, Paul Delvaux, Giorgio de Chirico, Max Ernst, and many others. It also features the work of some of the most renowned contemporary artists including Inka Essenhigh, Ginny Casey, Adrian Ghenie, Anna Weyant, Vincent Desiderio, and many others who are influenced by Surrealism. In the second section, the book offers a look at their work and unique methods. Unique in its combination of critical history, up-close survey of top contemporary practitioners, and detailed art instruction, this book aims to have the same broad appeal to museum-goers, collectors, and art enthusiasts that the authorâs first book, The Figurative Artistâs Handbook (Monacelli, 10. 8K sold), enjoyed. And given the 2021â'22 Surrealist exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Surrealism Beyond Borders) and at MOMA (Sophie Taeuber-Arp), and the recent addition by the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) of a new grant category, âNew Surrealism,â the moment is ripe for such a book. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
