New Surrealism
New Surrealism: The Uncanny in Contemporary Painting by Robert Zeller offers a sweeping exposition of both historical Surrealism and its legacy in the world of contemporary art. It demonstrates the many ways in which the most significant art movement of the last century continues to be relevant today, featuring an international selection of contemporary artists whose compositions and studio practice reveal its influence. There are many modalities of historical Surrealism that still maintain contemporary currency: presenting the familiar as unfamiliar and uncanny, the juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated imagery, the use of absurdity to critique political or social issues, and the use of erotic imagery in an irrational, non-linear context.
Not all the artists brought together in this book self-identify as Surrealist, per se, but each uses some variation of Surrealism in a personal manner. The book begins with a study of the origins, leadership, participating artists, and major milestones of historical Surrealism. Zeller chronicles the movement starting at the end of World War I and the birth of Dada.
The most important players and events emerge throughout the timeline of events-including World War II, and such notable artists as Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, Leonora Carrington, and many others-up until the death of its leader Andre Breton in 1966. Zeller then explores how elements of New Surrealism are being put into practice in the contemporary art world. Section Two offers a survey of 29 contemporary artists who engage in New Surrealism's seemingly unlimited variations of the movement's original themes, including Rosa Loy, Glenn Brown, and Arghavan Khosravi.
Section Three features 14 artists, including important contemporary artists such as Inka Essenhigh, Ginny Casey and Anna Weyant, who speak to Surrealism's influence on their studio practice, detailing in their own words how they create a composition from start to finish.
Toyen: První dáma surrealismu
Toyen je dodnes jednou z nejznámějších a nejuznávanějších avantgardních umělkyň na světě. Biografie této svobodomyslné malířky a výrazné osobnosti meziválečné umělecké avantgardy, která sama o sobě šířila mnoho mýtů, odkrývá dosud neznámá fakta a zachycuje historii mnoha obrazů.
Spisovatelka a filmová režisérka Andrea Sedláčková prošla desítky archivů, policejních záznamů a dosud nepublikovaných deníků, aby objevila skutečnou Toyen. Strhujícím způsobem líčí její milostný život a dění mezi českými a francouzskými surrealisty a levicovými intelektuály. Dopřává nám setkání s Vítězslavem Nezvalem, Karlem Teigem, Jindřichem Heislerem, André Bretonem, Benjaminem Péretem, Paulem Eluardem a samozřejmě s Jindřichem Štyrským. Půvabné líčí pražské a pařížské galerie, kavárny, kabarety a nevěstince i atmosféru míst, kde malířka a její souputníci pobývali a tvořili. Současně nás seznamuje s historií mnoha Toyeniných obrazů.
Text doprovází přes dvě stě reprodukcí a dokumentárních černobílých i barevných fotografií.
Surrealism
Surrealism is the first in an expanded range of Themes and Movements titles which look beyond the post-1945 period to survey all of the twentieth century's major art movements. Mary Ann Caws is an internationally respected scholar of Surrealism who has translated many of its major texts and published extensively on the Surrealists' art and writings. Aside from academic studies and museum catalogues this is the first comprehensive, art book format survey on Surrealism to be published for a number of years. It also provides an overview of the essential links between the Surrealists' famous artworks and their equally renowned writings. Mary Ann Caws is uniquely qualified to do this, reviwing one of her previous books, Rosalind Krauss, Columbia University's Meyer Schapiro Professor of Art, writes: 'The specialization of critical labour has meant that gifted readers of surrealist texts are rarely in contact with canny viewers of surrealist objects...Mary Ann Caws brings her readerly skills on both sides of the divide, producing an analysis that, in its generosity, erudition and originality, greatly enriches our experience of the movement.' Surrealism is a survey of the twentieth century's longest lasting and, arguably, most influential art movement. Championed and held together by Andre Breton for over forty years, Surrealism was France's major avant-garde artistic tendency from 1924 onwards, rapidly spreading around the globe to become an international phenomenon. During World War II Surrealism's exiled artists and writers had a major impact on American art and were a primary influence for the Abstract Expressionist generation. The official surrealist movement continued to the end of Breton's life in 1966, and its legacy is still pervasive today, in contemporary art as well as in numerous quotations from surrealist imagery in cinema, advertising and the media. The Survey essay by Mary Ann Caws - a distinguished scholar, translator and associate of the Surrealists - describes in clear, perceptive and lively prose the essential characteristics that define Surrealism, as well as tracing a concise path through the chronology of this prolific and wide-ranging movement. The text also demonstrates how surrealist art and writing are interdependent. The Works section follows the movement from its beginnings in the 1920s up to the 1940s and 1950s. Its six sections trace the themes which predominated at different stages: Chance and Freedom - the earliest work, characterized by complete 'automatic' spontaneity, Poetics of Vision - the strategies of surrealist image-making, reflecting the mind's inner visions, Elusive Objects - the fascination with objects of all kinds from which emerged artworks such as Meret Oppenheim's celebrated fur-lined cup and saucer, Desire - the investigation of desire, eroticism and 'mad love' which is central and unique to the movement, Delirium - Surrealism's high-risk engagement with extreme mental states and disturbing, uncanny visions, and the Infinite Terrains of later Surrealism, ranging from Joseph Cornell's magical assemblages in box frames, like 'theatres of the mind', to the infinite fields and dynamic energy of late surrealist painting at the dawn of Abstract Expressionism. The Documents section includes important rediscovered writings alongside the key texts by leading figures. Many of the texts have been specially translated for this volume by Mary Ann Caws and Jonathan Eburne.

Surrealism
Surrealism was launched as a literary and artistic movement by French poet Andre Breton in 1924, and by the time of his death in 1966 had become one of the most popular art movements of the 20th century. Its very name has entered everyday usage as a synonym for bizarre. Taking the reader on a narrative journey through the history of Surrealism, this book is a digestible introduction to the movement's key figures, their works and where to find them. Complete with a glossary of key terms and chronology, this new addition to the Art Essentials series provides an indispensable resource for anyone interested in learning about this most influential of art phenomena.
Surrealism Genesis of a Revolution
The Dada movement and then the Surrealists appeared in the First World War aftermath with a bang: revolution of thought, creativity, and the wish to break away from the past and all that was left in ruins. This refusal to integrate into the Bourgeois society lead Georg Grosz to remark of Dada, "it's the end of-isms." Breton asserted that Dada does not produce perspective, "a machine which functions full steam, but where it remains to be seen how it can feed itself." Surrealism emerged amidst such feeling. These artists often changed from one movement to another. They were united by their superior intellectualism and the common goal to break from the norm. Describing Dada with its dynamic free-thinkers, and the Surrealists with their aversive resistance to the system, the author brings a new approach which strives to be relative and truthful. Provocation and cultural revolution: Dada and the Surrealists, aren't they above all just a direct product of creative individualism in this unsettled period?

Životy Surrealistů
Desmond Morris, autor bestsellerů a sám surrealistický umělec, se namísto snahy analyzovat práci surrealistů soustředí na tyto umělce jako na osobnosti a pozoruhodné jednotlivce. Jaké měli charakterové přednosti či naopak slabosti?
Užívali si společenského života, nebo to byli osamělí vlci? Šlo o drzé excentriky, či zakřiknuté poustevníky? Byli samouky, nebo byli formálně vzdělaní?
Na základě autorových osobních znalostí o surrealistických umělcích zachycuje tato kniha jejich životní osudy, výstřednosti a často komplikovaný milostný život, bohatě doprovázena 72 fotografiemi umělců a jejich děl.
Šokující, poučné a vždy zábavné, Morrisovy příběhy osvětlují různorodost přístupů k surrealistické filozofii, a to jak v uměleckých dílech, tak v lidských životech.
Obálka: ručně malované písmo od autora a umělce Desmonda Morrise, včetně písmen pro české vydání

Surrealism Beyond Borders
A completely new way of looking at and understanding Surrealism, with a focus on the worldwide sweep of the movement
"The variety of discoveries, detailed with exceptional scholarship in a ravishing keeper of a catalogue, defeat generalization."-Peter Schjeldahl, New Yorker
This groundbreaking book challenges conventional narratives of Surrealism, tracing its impact and legacy from the 1920s to the late 1970s in places as diverse as Colombia, Czechoslovakia, Egypt, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, Romania, Syria, Thailand, and Turkey. In doing so, it presents a more inclusive and accurate understanding of the fundamentally international character and lasting significance of the revolutionary artistic, literary, and philosophical movement. Vibrantly illustrated with more than 300 works of art by both well-known figures-including Dali, Ernst, Kahlo, Magritte, and Miro-and numerous underrepresented artists, this expansive book pushes beyond the borders of history, geography, and nationality to provocatively redraw the map of the Surrealist movement, investigating how its visual languages, ideals, theories, and practices were framed or reframed in contexts far from its Parisian origins. Contributions from more than 40 distinguished international scholars explore themes such as the channels used to transmit ideas; artists' responses to the challenges of political oppression, social unrest, and the effects of colonialism; and experiences of displacement and exile in the twentieth century.

André Breton a základy surrealismu
V této rozsáhlé a dnes již klasické monografii věnované André Bretonovi a základním tématům surrealismu se autor po důkladném rozboru geneze tohoto hnutí na historicko-kulturním pozadí věnuje nejen základním tématům a tvůrčím technikám surrealismu jako je automatické psaní nebo objektivní náhoda, ale zkoumá i jeho vztah k dobové vědě a k tradičním a ezoterním myšlenkovým proudům. Nemalé místo zde zabírá i rozbor vztahů mezi poezií a revolucí i mezi symbolismem a automatismem. Přestože kniha byla vydána již v padesátých letech 20. století, zůstává v mnoha ohledech nepřekonána zejména pro svou interpretační šíři a faktografickou přesnost.
Surrealism
Unleash the unconscious: Provoking the establishment with primal instincts WithSalvador Dalias its figurehead, the great ship of Surrealism traversed the turbulent seas of the early twentieth century with sails billowing withdreams and desires. Inspired by the psychoanalytical practice of Sigmund Freud, the Surrealists championed the unconscious as the domain oftruth, uninhibited by the standards or expectations of society.With techniques ranging fromhypnotismtonocturnal walkstoautomatic writing, the likes ofAndre Breton, Max Ernst, Brassai, andMeret Oppenheimproduced paintings, drawings, texts, and films in which they sought to excavate their most intimate and primal instincts. The results abound withsexual fantasies, withmysterious, menacing creatures, and with the juxtaposition of seemingly contradictory objects or ideas.This book introduces the origins and the sensational legacy of the Surrealist movement, one of the mostprofound and enduring influences on film, theatre, literature, art, and thought.Featured artists: Hans Arp, Andre Breton, Giorgio de Chirico, Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, Alberto Giacometti, Paul Klee, Rene Magritte, Andre Masson, Matta, Joan Miro, Pablo Picasso, Meret Oppenheim, Yves Tanguy About the Series: Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Genre series features: a detailed illustrated introduction plus a timeline of the most important political, cultural and social events that took place during that period a selection of the most important works of the epoch, each of which is presented on a 2-page spread with a full-page image and with an interpretation of the respective work, plus a portrait and brief biography of the artist approximately 100 colour illustrations with explanatory captions "

Dark Toys: Surrealism and the Culture of Childhood
A wide-ranging look at surrealist and postsurrealist engagements with the culture and imagery of childhood
We all have memories of the object-world of childhood. For many of us, playthings and images from those days continue to resonate. Rereading a swathe of modern and contemporary artistic production through the lens of its engagement with childhood, this book blends in-depth art historical analysis with sustained theoretical exploration of topics such as surrealist temporality, toys, play, nostalgia, memory, and 20th-century constructions of the child. The result is an entirely new approach to the surrealist tradition via its engagement with "childish things." Providing what the author describes as a "long history of surrealism," this book plots a trajectory from surrealism itself to the art of the 1980s and 1990s, through to the present day. It addresses a range of figures from Marcel Duchamp, Giorgio de Chirico, Max Ernst, Hans Bellmer, Joseph Cornell, and Helen Levitt, at one end of the spectrum, to Louise Bourgeois, Eduardo Paolozzi, Claes Oldenburg, Susan Hiller, Martin Sharp, Helen Chadwick, Mike Kelley, and Jeff Koons, at the other.

Drawing Surrealism
Drawing, often considered a minor art, was central to surrealism from the very beginning. Automatic drawing, exquisite cadavers, and frottage are just a few of the techniques invented by surrealists as means to tap into the subconscious realm. While previous books have examined the connection between drawings and surrealist paintings, Drawing Surrealism is the first to recognize the medium as a fundamental form of surrealist expression, and to explore its impact on other media as well. Surrealist collage, photography, and even paintings are presented in the context of drawing as a metaphor for innovation and experimentation. It is also the first book to encompass a wide array of artists on a global scale - from the great figures in surrealist history to lesser-known surrealists from Japan, Central Europe, and the Americas, where the movement had a profound and lasting effect. In addition to brilliant reproductions of drawings and other works by more than 100 artists, this volume also includes a substantial historical essay by the exhibition's curator, as well as informative essays by leading scholars. This ground-breaking book offers a deep understanding of the techniques and concerns that made surrealism such an intimate perceptual revolution.

The British Surrealists
The lives, loves and works of key British Surrealists revealed by one of the last surviving members of this movement, bestselling author and artist Desmond Morris.
Feted for their idiosyncratic and imaginative works, the surrealists marked a pivotal moment in the history of modern art in Britain. Many banded together to form the British Surrealist Group, while others carved their own, independent paths.
Here, bestselling author and surrealist artist Desmond Morris - one of the last surviving members of this important art movement - draws on his personal memories and experiences to present the intriguing life stories and complex love lives of this wild and curious set of artists. From the unpredictability of Francis Bacon to the rebelliousness of Leonora Carrington, from the beguiling Eileen Agar to the 'brilliant' Ceri Richards, Morris brings his subjects' foibles and frailties to the fore.
His vivid account is laced with his inimitable wit, and profusely illustrated by images of the artists and their artworks. Featuring thirty-four surrealists - some famous, some forgotten - Morris's intimate book takes us back in time to a generation that allowed its creative unconscious to drive their passions in both art and life.

O surrealismu
Jean Clair je přední francouzský teoretik umění, bývalý dlouholetý ředitel Picassova muzea. Zaměřuje se především na osobnosti francouzského i světového moderního umění, jako jsou Marcel Duchamp, Gustav Klimt, Pablo Picasso, Balthus či fotograf Henri Cartier-Bresson, ale i na obecnější teoretické úvahy z oblasti výtvarného umění a estetiky. Český čtenář měl možnost seznámit se zatím pouze se dvěma kratšími, byť myšlenkově hutnými Clairovými pracemi - Úvahami o stavu moderního umění z roku 1983 a Odpovědností umělce z roku 1997 (Barrister & Principal, 2006). Kontroverzní a hodně diskutovanou práci O surrealismu napsal Clair v roce 2003 záměrně v pamfletickém stylu, jenž vzdáleně připomíná styl surrealistů. Jak ironicky poznamenává v jejím úvodu: Nebyl to právě Breton, kdo tvrdil, že pravda vždy jen získá, když se vyjádří urážlivě?!
