This work explores the emergence of the United States as a major force in the international art world during the twentieth century. This wonderful new series (with over 10 titles in print) aims to combine a compact, commercial approach with the breadth and clarity of larger format books. Covering art which both creates the foundation of modern culture and modern art itself, the books include Picasso, Bauhous, and the Art Nouveau movement.
Surreliasmus rozhodně dokázal, že patří mezi nejvýznamnější literární a umělecké směry 20. století. Změnil intelektuální krajinu naší doby a jeho odkaz nepřestává formovat způsob, jímž se díváme na okolní svět a na naši roli v něm. Kniha Surrealisté přibližuje všechny stránky surrealistického hnutí. Obsahuje 120 fotografických reprodukcí malířských a sochařských děl doplněných stručným popisem. Některé z vybraných ukázek jsou považovány za nejvýznačnější práce, další se možná proslavily méně, avšak všechny jsou stejnou měrou důležité pro umělecký a filozofický vývoj surrealistické skupiny.
