Monstrosities in the real world bred monsters in paintings and sculpture, on film, and in the pages of journals and artists' books. \u003cbr\u003eDespite the political and personal turmoil brought on by the Spanish Civil War and World War II, avant-garde artists in Europe and those who sought refuge in the United States pushed themselves to create some of the most potent and striking images of the Surrealist movement. Trailblazing essays by four experts in the field trace the experimental and international extent of Surrealist art during these years--and, perhaps most unexpectedly of all, its irrepressible beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Oliver Shell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0847863131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780847863136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rizzoli Electa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 9.80w x 1.10d","brand":"Oliver Shell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43992524161279,"sku":"9780847863136","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2a676d1e-e70c-4195-ac0f-776a7a09c074.jpg?v=1683319413","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/monsters-and-myths-oliver-shell-9780847863136","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
