Summary:
"'If you love...you'll love surrealism' The slogan showed up on walls in the centre of Paris from one day to the next. The year was 1924 and the flyer announced the birth of a new movement with the premise of "free love" and eroticism at its heart. Nobody among its inner circle embraced the credo more eagerly than the artist Max Ernst, the strikingly handsome painter who Andre Breton described as the "most magnificently haunted brain" of his generation. Surreal Lovers focuses on the lives of eight extraordinary women Ernst loved deeply, who impacted on his life during the most exhilarating and treacherous of times. Several became eminent artists - Leonora Carrington, Dorothea Tanning, Leonor Fini and Meret Oppenheim."--Page [4] of cover.
