Das Leben der Surrealisten
Der Surrealismus begann als gemeinsame Rebellion gegen all jene Mächte, die die Welt in den Krieg geführt hatten. Ein Aufstand auch gegen verlogene Religion, Demagogie, Prüderie und usurpierte Autoritäten. Wie lebten sie wirklich, diese inzwischen so berühmten Künstlerinnen und Künstler? Desmond Morris, selbst surrealistischer Künstler, kann davon berichten wie kein Zweiter. Er gehörte zu ihrem Kreis und kannte sie alle. Ihre Vorlieben und Macken. Ihre Arbeitsweisen und ihre Geheimnisse. Ihre Freundschaften, Feindschaften, Liebschaften, Frivolitäten und dramatischen Zerwürfnisse. Er porträtiert einsame Wölfe, rebellische Vorkämpferinnen, brillante Exzentriker. Geistreich und unterhaltsam erzählt Desmond Morris von den wirklichen Menschen, die Kunstgeschichte schrieben. Seine zweiunddreißig Lebensbilder der Surrealisten sind selbst Geschichte.

The Surrealist Menagerie
Join renowned zoologist and surrealist artist Desmond Morris as he explores the many ways that animals prowl, fly, and slither through surrealist art. From Leonora Carrington's hyenas to Salvador Dalí's chimeras, Leonor Fini's cats to Félix Labisse's molluscs, nonhuman creatures became enduring points of fascination for many surrealist artists--recurring motifs through which they explored new ideas about psychology, transformation, and the marvelous. Taking each creature in turn, Morris plots an uncanny and entertaining expedition through the animal kingdom as reinterpreted by the likes of Max Ernst, René Magritte, Dorothea Tanning, and Remedios Varo. Combining the trained eye of a scientist with his unique insider's perspective, he provides extraordinary insight into the symbolism behind some of modern art's wildest works. More than just a bestiary of the bizarre, The Surrealist Menagerie is a lively and witty celebration of one of the twentieth century's most revolutionary movements--a must-read for lovers of surrealism, zoology, and natural history.

Sürrealistlerin Hayatlari
Magritte ile Mir kadar birbirinden farkli iki sanatcinin beraber yer aldigi baska hicbir sanat hareketi tarihte görülmez. Bunun nedeni sürrealizmin bir sanat hareketi olarak degil, bir felsefi strateji olarak dogmus olmasidir. Sürrealizm bir yasam tarziydi; Birinci Dünya Savasinda dünyaya korkunc bir kiyim yasatmis yerlesik düzene karsi bir baskaldiriydi. Bilincdisinin kuytuda kalmis, en karanlik yanlarindan beslenen sürrealist yapitlar gercekten olaganüstüydü ve uluslararasi bir nitelik tasiyordu. Taninmis yazar ve sürrealist sanatci Desmond Morris kitabinda sürrealistlerin calismalarini cözümlemeye calismak yerine onlara insan olarak, siradisi bireyler olarak bakiyor. Bu sanatcilarin kisilikleri nasildi; güclü ve zayif karakter özellikleri, tercihleri nelerdi Sosyal bir hayat mi sürüyorlardi, yoksa münzevi miydiler Ayriksi ve cüretkar mi, yoksa ice kapanik ve cekingen miydiler Morrisin aktardigi komik, sarsici, eglenceli anekdotlar sürrealist felsefeye yaklasim acisindan sanatcilarin eserlerinde ve hayatlarinda gözlenen carpici degiskenligi de aciga cikariyor. Yazarin kisisel tanikliklarindan faydalanilan kitapta, sürrealistlerin yasam öyküleri, mizaclari ve cogu zaman karmasik ask hayatlari, sanatcilarin fotograflari ve eserleriyle birlikte cok canli bir tarzda resmediliyor

Watching
Desmond may have given me an insight into human behaviour, but he's given me lots of laughs, too. We think the same things are funny, and he's a brilliant raconteur. -- Sir David Attenborough This is a book about the joys of watching the world. > Desmond Morris was born in 1928. Educated at Birmingham and Oxford universities, he became the Curator of Mammals at London Zoo in 1959, a post he held for eight years. In 1967 he published The Naked Ape which has sold over 10 million copies worldwide and has changed the way we view our own species forever. An accomplished artist, TV presenter, film maker and writer, Desmond Morris's books have been published in over thirty-six countries.

El mundo de los animales
'Si queremos conocer mejor a los animales, debemos intentar ver el mundo desde su punto de vista. El truco consiste en dejar de creernos superiores a ellos. Si los menospreciamos no tendremos posibilidad alguna de entenderlos.

El autor nos ofrece una atenta mirada al hábitat natural de algunos de los mamíferos más conocidos y a su forma de vida: qué comen, cómo duermen, cómo cuidan a sus crías, por qué luchan y cómo sobreviven a las amenazas que deben enfrentar en un mundo tan competitivo y salvaje.El mundo de los animales esconde grandes sorpresas, siempre hay algo nuevo que aprender para apreciar y entender mejor su mundo y su misteriosa naturaleza.

The British Surrealists
The lives, loves and works of key British Surrealists revealed by one of the last surviving members of this movement, bestselling author and artist Desmond Morris. Fêted for their idiosyncratic and imaginative works, the surrealists marked a pivotal moment in the history of modern art in Britain. Many banded together to form the British Surrealist Group, while others carved their own, independent paths. Here, bestselling 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 and complex love lives of this wild and curious set of artists. From the unpredictability of Francis Bacon to the rebelliousness of Leonora Carrington, from the beguiling Eileen Agar to the 'brilliant' Ceri Richards, Morris brings his subjects' foibles and frailties to the fore. His vivid account is laced with his inimitable wit, and profusely illustrated by images of the artists and their artworks. Featuring thirty-four surrealists - some famous, some 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. With 105 illustrations

The Lives of the Surrealists
No other art movement in history has contained two artists as different as Magritte and Miró. This is because Surrealism was not in origin an art movement, but a philosophical strategy. It was a way of life - a rebellion against the establishment that had given the world the hideous slaughter of the First World War. Instead of trying to analyse the work of the Surrealists, bestselling author and Surrealist artist Desmond Morris concentrates on them as people - as remarkable individuals. What were their personalities, their predilections, their character strengths and flaws? Did they enjoy a social life or were they loners? Were they bold eccentrics or timid recluses? Drawing on the author's personal knowledge of the Surrealists, this book captures their life histories, idiosyncrasies and often-complex love lives, vividly illustrated with images of the artists and their works. The arts of Surrealism were both spectacular and international, shaped by the darkest, most irrational workings of the unconscious. Shocking, witty and always entertaining, Morris's tales illuminate the striking variation in approaches to the Surrealist philosophy, both in the artists' work and in their lives.With 72 illustrations
