In the first biography of Penrose, acclaimed biographer James King explores the intricacies of Penrose's life and work tracing the profound effects of his upbringing in a Quaker household on his values, the early influence of Roger Fry, his friendships with Max Ernst, Andre Breton and other surrealists, especially Paul Eluard, his organization of the landmark International Surrealist Exhibition in the summer of 1936, his conflicted relationship with Pablo Picasso, and his tireless promotion of surrealism as well as the production of his own surrealist art. With a deftness of touch, King traces Penrose's complex professional and personal lives, including his pacifism, his work as a biographer - including his outstanding life of Picasso as well as those of Miro, Man Ray, and Tapies - and as an art historian, as well as his unconventionality, especially in his two marriages including that to Lee Miller - and his numerous love affairs."--Jacket. 600 10 $a Penrose, Roland, $c Sir. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79055560 650 0 $a Artists $z England $v Biography. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007101490 650 0 $a Art $x Collectors and collecting $z England $v Biography. 650 0 $a Surrealism $z Europe. 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423686 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423686 600 17 $a Penrose, Roland, $c Sir. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00035653 650 7 $a Art $x Collectors and collecting. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815195 650 7 $a Artists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00817559 650 7 $a Surrealism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01139538 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 651 7 $a Europe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026049 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018022020.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F3EBCEA2033A11E8972C924897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
