About This Item
London, U.K: Thames Hudson Ltd , 2022. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. A Pristine, Collectible, First Edition. This excellent book is a fascinating account of the lives of 34 British surrealists including Francis Bacon, Henry Moore & Paul Nash along with less familiar ones such as Eileen Agar, Leonora Carrington & Ceri Richards. With 107 illustrations. All in all, Desmond Morris's 'The British Surrealists' is an engrossing and enlightening guide to these extraordinary artists. 'Fizzingly written and sumptuously illustrated . What makes this biographical dictionary of British painters and sculptors so readable is that Morris is writing about people he once knew very well indeed . this beautifully illustrated book - each artist's bio is accompanied by two or three paintings - is a reminder of the extraordinary work of such Britons as Carrington and Agar, whose reputations as surrealists of the first order, able to stand comparison with Duchamp, de Chirico and the rest, have been soaring in recent years' - Sunday Times
