Reviews

[Clayton · Rating 2 out of 5]

The book does not explain Surrealism clearly and does not contain his most famous works.

[Mark · Rating 4 out of 5]

Copiously illustrated biography and analysis of surreal phenomenologist / artist who did not consider himself painter. Some work never seen before.
