one of those "if only" books VERY well written book on the function of women artists during the surrealist movement - both as muse for the men and as artists in their own right. The unspoken "maleness' of surrealism is also one of the first movements that allowed (somewhat hesitantly) women to be members and equals. There are ALOT of paintings shown by the main women artists (Kahlo, Tanning, Sage, Carrington, Fini, Toyen) however almost ALL are in black and white and small. The women of surrealism seem in most cases to have a far deeper intention to use color in their work as a form of expressing em. artistnakazzi said Five Stars. great book with lots of interesting content and high quality pics. Highly recommended for anyone with even a passing interest in surrealism Thorough and informative, and gorgeously adored with many photos of the works discussed. Highly recommended for anyone with even a passing interest in surrealism; the women artists associated with this movement should not be overlooked!
