This work explores the emergence of the United States as a major force in the international art world during the twentieth century. This wonderful new series (with over 10 titles in print) aims to combine a compact, commercial approach with the breadth and clarity of larger format books. Covering art which both creates the foundation of modern culture and modern art itself, the books include Picasso, Bauhous, and the Art Nouveau movement.
V ďalšej z inšpirujúcich publikácií edície Umelci a ich diela – Surrealisti - ponúka Tim Martin prehľad diel i stručnú charakteristiku umelca, navodzuje atmosféru doby i okolností, za ktorých vybrané diela vznikli. Prekrásny výber prác je obohatený odborným úvodom Dr. Mika O’Mahonyho. Ak dnes označíme udalosť alebo zážitok za „surreálny“, každý vie, čo máme na mysli. Slovo automaticky navodzuje predstavu čohosi tajomného a nádherného, pocit nesúvislosti a dezorientácie, nevysvetliteľnosti a neznáma. Predstavujeme si svety, v ktorých ryby plávajú po oblohe a neživé objekty sa pred našimi očami menia na živé bytosti. No takéto predstavy, ktoré sú skôr v súlade so svetom snov a nočných môr než s každodenným životom, azda nepochádzajú až tak z našej predstavivosti, ale poznáme ich skôr z kresieb, malieb a sôch, ktoré vytvorila skupina umelcov pôsobiacich prevažne v období medzi dvoma vojnami.
