Lives of the British Surrealists is a collection of biographies of artists who participated in the Surrealist movement from it's beginnings in 1924 to 1939 when many of artists fled Europe at the start of World War II and lived as refugees for years. But the biographies detail the entire lives of these artists; their feuds, friendships, marriages, mental breakdowns, and even wealth for a few. This is a very fun and entertaining read. Desmond Morris joined the movement in 1948 at age 20 and became bestselling author with "The Naked Age" and a renown zoologist. Now 96 he has given a great gift of his eyewitness accounts. Descending from the World War I Dada movement, Surrealism started out as a literary movement but because "paintings can can be understood in any language". Surrealism or psychic automatism quickly gained a world wide audience that it has continued to hold enthralled. By tapping the deeper recesses of the mind, the surrealist works should speak directly to the viewer with a much stronger voice because, of course, at those depths we all share the same hopes and fears, the same hatreds, loves and longings.
