Meer over het boek

"The upheavals produced by the First World War caused art to seek new paths. Unlike the Cubists whose point of departure was form, thr Surrealists found their inspiration in the world of psychoanalysis, dreams and the unconscious. Salvador Dali, Marc Chagall, Max Ernst and the painters of the 'Viennese School of Fantastic Realism' are among the best known Surrealists whose works are featured in this book.104 pages, 74 colour plates and 36 artists"(back cover text)
