Title: Surrealist prints
Description: This volume was compiled and edited by Gilbert Kaplan, the world's foremost collector of surrealist prints.

Two insightful essays provide fresh perspectives on the subject: Timothy Baum, a leading authority on surrealism, chronicles the history of surrealist printmaking, and Robert Rainwater, assistant director of art, prints, and photographs at the New York Public Library, examines the relationship between surrealist artists and poets of the era, since many outstanding surrealist prints were created as book illustrations.

In addition, Riva Castleman, former chief curator of the Department of Prints and Illustrated Books at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, surveys American collections of surrealist art. The superb reproductions (many in full color) feature works by twenty-three artists, including Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, Yves Tanguy, Andre Masson, Matta Echaurren, Victor Brauner, and Paul Delvaux.
