About the book

For some, Surrealism was expressed in a semi-abstract style, asi in paintings like Paul Klee's Senecio. For others, the way was through painting imaginary objects, as Giorgio de' Chirico did in The melancholy of despair, or in using realistic figures to represent subconscious ideas, as Salvador Dali did in such paintings as Soft construction with boiked beans, as a premonition of the Spanish Civil War. these and other famous Surrealist painters are included in this splendid book.
