Magnificent insects, rocks and the dry branches of trees, a fascination with the detailed design of fantastic constructions in deep space, all distinguish the work of the artist John Tunnard. Living in Cornwall for much of his life, Tunnard was an independent but key figure in the development of abstract art. He became a member of the London Group in 1934 and, on reading Herbert Read's book Surrealism, and under the influence of Miro, Klee, Masson and Tanguy, his work became partly surrealist, with elements of constructivism.This book is the first to examine in detail John Tunnard's career as an artist; it includes an extensive catalogue. With over 100 illustrations, more than 50 in colour, the book covers many of the known oils, gouaches, watercolours and mixed media works. A biography sets his work in the context of his life and times and is accompanied by a series of appendices listing important exhibitions, major galleries currently holding his work, and a guide to the coding system which Tunnard often added to his signature.

Download The British Surrealists Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The lives, loves, and works of key British Surrealists revealed by one of the last surviving members of this movement, best-selling author and artist Desmond Morris. Honored for their idiosyncratic and imaginative works, the surrealists marked a pivotal moment in the history of modern art in Britain— pioneering the Surrealist movement between World War I and II. Many artists banded together to form the British Surrealist Group, while others carved their own, independent paths. Here, best-selling author and surrealist artist Desmond Morris—one of the last surviving members of this important art movement—draws on his personal memories and experiences to present the intriguing life stories, complex love lives, and groundbreaking works of this wild and curious set of artists. From the rebelliousness of Leonora Carrington to the beguiling Eileen Agar and the “brilliant” Ceri Richards, Morris brings his subjects’ triumphs as well as their shortcomings to the fore. Laced with his inimitable wit, and profusely illustrated by images of the artists and their artworks, Morris’s vivid account reflects the movement’s strange, rebellious, and imaginative nature. Featuring thirty- four surrealists—some famous, some now largely forgotten—Morris’s intimate book takes us back in time to a generation that allowed its creative unconscious to drive their passions in both art and life.

Download Surrealism in Britain Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book was originally published in 1999, and is the first comprehensive study of the British surrealist movement and its achievements. Lavishly illustrated, the book provides a year-by-year narrative of the development of surrealism among artists, writers, critics and theorists in Britain. Surrealism was imported into Britain from France by pioneering little magazines. The 1936 International Surrealist Exhibition in London, put together by Herbert Read and Roland Penrose, marked the first attempt to introduce the concept to a wider public. Relations with the Soviet Union, the Spanish Civil War and World War Two fractured the nascent movement as writers and artists worked out their individual responses and struggled to earn a living in wartime. The book follows the story right through to the present day. Michael Remy draws on 20 years of studying British surrealism to provide this authoritative and biographically rich account, a major contribution to the understanding of the achievements of the artists and writers involved and their allegiance to this key twentieth-century movement.
