Arte e fotografia

David Campany
Phaidon Press Limited

Scrittore e artista, co-fondatore dell'organizzazione Photoforum, che riunisce studiosi e fotografi, David Campany conduce in questo volume un'indagine sulla presenza della fotografia nella pratica artistica contemporanea, dagli anni Sessanta in avanti. L'immagine fotografica, infatti, ha acquisito sempre più peso nell'arte del Novecento, e così anche il dibattito teorico sul suo ruolo.

Surrealism

Mary Ann Caws
Phaidon Press Limited

Surrealism is a survey of the twentieth century's longest lasting and, arguably, most influential art movement. Championed and held together by André 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.



Survey 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.



Works provides an extensive colour plate section with extended captions for every artwork. Following the movement from its beginnings in the 1920s up to the 40s and950s, its six sections trace the themes that predominated at different stages.
