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

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.
Surrealismo-Visual Encyplopedy of Art

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.
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.

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.
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?!

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.

České surrealistické drama
Antologie přináší výběr surrealistických dramatických textů od dvacátých let 20. století až po současnost. V jednom svazku se tak poprvé setkávají díla dnes již kanonická s texty neznámými či doposud nezveřejněnými, texty se surrealismem běžně spojovaných autorů (Vítězslav Nezval, Vratislav Effenberger, Jan Švankmajer) s hrami tvůrců známých spíše z jiných uměleckých oblastí (Karel Šebek, Ladislav Novák, Jiří Suchý). Celek publikace pak dokládá, že i když psaní pro divadlo nikdy nestálo v centru zájmu českých surrealistů, věnovali mu soustavnou pozornost. Výbor uvádí rozsáhlá studie, která charakterizuje základní konstanty surrealistické poetiky a zároveň mapuje historickou proměnlivost vztahu surrealismu a dramatu.

Surrealism 25 kr
With Salvador Dalí as its figurehead, the great ship of Surrealism traversed the wild and turbulent sea of the Roaring Twenties, its sails full of winds blown by Sigmund Freud and André Breton. With their mysterious, dreamlike, fantastic imagery, the Surrealists made sensational waves in the art world. The influence of artists such as Dalí, Buñuel, Ernst, and Magritte on 20th century film, theatre, literature, art theory—even advertising—is inestimable. This book traces their legacy back to its origins.

Surrealists in New York
An absorbing group biography revealing how exiles from war-torn France brought surrealism to America, sparking the movement that became abstract expressionism.
Sensing the emerging disaster that was about to consume Europe, surrealists began to arrive in New York from Paris even before the outbreak of World War II. This engaging group biography tells their story and that of the artistic exchange between the Old World and the New. It takes as its focus the legendary Atelier 17 print studio, relocated from Paris to New York, where avant-garde artists could experiment and where abstract expressionist Jackson Pollock encountered surrealism in action for the very first time.
In 1957, in a catalog essay at a show at the Whitney Museum, New York, the American artist Robert Motherwell made an unexpected claim that abstract expressionism was neither new nor native. It had been born, he declared, of a brief liaison between America and France, an assertion that verged on the controversial. This was at the Whitney, no less, the lion’s den of American art. Motherwell’s remark is the launchpad of this book, which features André Breton, André Masson, Louise Bourgeois, Max Ernst, and other emigrants, including Stanley William Hayter, the founder of Atelier 17. Their work would have a profound influence on some of the key figures in the rise of abstract expressionism, including Mark Rothko, Motherwell, Willem de Kooning, and Pollock?and vice versa.

Frida Kahlo a farby života
„Ja som revolúcia!“ Frida Kahlo.
Mexiko 1925: Frida sa chce stať lekárkou, ale nehoda jej to prekazí. Potom sa zamiluje do maliarskeho génia Diega Riveru. S ním sa ponorí do sveta umenia, on ju povzbudzuje v tvorbe - a zradí ju. Frida je hlboko zranená; s vedomím, že šťastie je len požičané, sa vrhá do života. Parížski surrealisti jej ležia pri nohách rovnako ako Picasso a Trockij. Frida si ide svojou cestou, či už slávi úspech so svojimi obrazmi, alebo musí prijať ranu osudu v podobe potratu - no potom ju čaká rozhodnutie, ktoré ju prinúti spochybniť všetko, čomu doteraz verila.
The Lives of the Surrealists
No other art movement in history has contained two artists as different as Magritte and Miro. This is because Surrealism was not in origin an art movement, but a philosophical strategy. It was a way of life - a rebellion against the establishment that had given the world the hideous slaughter of the First World War. Instead of trying to analyse the work of the Surrealists, bestselling author and Surrealist artist Desmond Morris concentrates on them as people - as remarkable individuals. What were their personalities, their predilections, their character strengths and flaws? Did they enjoy a social life or were they loners? Were they bold eccentrics or timid recluses?
Drawing on the author's personal knowledge of the Surrealists, this book captures their life histories, idiosyncrasies and often-complex love lives, vividly illustrated with images of the artists and their works. The arts of Surrealism were both spectacular and international, shaped by the darkest, most irrational workings of the unconscious. Shocking, witty and always entertaining, Morris's tales illuminate the striking variation in approaches to the Surrealist philosophy, both in the artists' work and in their lives.

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.

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?

Women Artists and the Surrealist Movement
This pioneering book stands as the most comprehensive treatment of the lives, ideas and art works of the remarkable group of women who were an essential part of the Surrealist movement. Frida Kahlo, Meret Oppenheim and Dorothea Tanning, among many others, became an embodiment of their age as they struggled towards artistic maturity and their own 'liberation of the spirit' in the context of the Surrealist revolution. Their stories and their achievements are presented here against the background of the turbulent decades of the 1920s, 30s and 40s, and the war that forced Surrealism into exile in New York and Mexico.
