The 20th Century: Between the Wars
In the years between the two world wars an undercurrent of unreason, of fantasy, of primitive passions, fuelled by the researches of Freud, marked the development of new art, particularly the Surrealist movement.
Edwin Mullins continues his series of some of the greatest paintings of Western art, concentrating on three paintings dealing in different ways with the human subconscious.
They are PAUL KLEE's Garden with birds
(described by Richard Cork ) PICASSO'S Guernica
(described by Milton Brown ) and MAX ERNST 'S
The robing of the bride
(described by George Melly ) All three pictures were featured in the series One Hundred Great Paintings.
