Surrealist Painting : Colour Library (Phaidon Colour Library)

Rating:
Summary: The persistance of Surrealism (with boiled beans, of course)
Review: This inexpensive book is a fine introduction to Surrealist painting. Wilson's opening essay covers Surrealism from roots to branches. The selections include all the most famous & many lesser-known Surrealist painters, including a few fellow travellers, & some of the paintings are inspired choices rather than the obvious ones. Color reproduction is better than one would expect at the price.
