VHS
Narrated and written by art critic Robert Hughes. Produced by the BBC and Time-Life Television
Discusses surrealism, the last revolutionary art movement of the 20th century. Visits "monuments to the irrational"--The little-known Ideal Temple, built in rural France over a span of forty years by a local postman, and the Watts Tower. Examines the work of Rousseau, Ernst, Miro, Dali, Magritte, Cornell, and Dubuffet, and shows how they influenced even the New York School of Gorky, Motherwell, and Rothko
