| Summary |
"The Surrealist Movement, freed from the bonds of Reason, was embraced by a great number of artists (Miro, Dali, Magritte, Picasso), and its influence soon extended beyond France, spreading to the United States in particular, where the leading figures of the movement had fled the war once again ravaging Europe. The book brings to life the story of the main periods of Surrealism, presents the most important works and puts in perspective a movement that would lastingly influence contemporary art."--BOOK JACKET |
