The Surrealists sought to eliminate logic along with the boundaries between the Normal and the Fantastical, in order to create a better world through free associative play, using the forces of the subconscious. Their pictures are characterized by a spatial, material, non-abstract manner of painting with an almost photographic sharpness of detail, and they are more topical now than ever before.

Paul Klee, 1879-1940 : poet of colours, masters of lines / by Partsch, Susanna.; Klee, Paul,1879-1940,artist.; Schmitt-Thomas, Hilary,translator.;
Includes bibliographical references.Musician or painter -- The househusband, from draughtsman to painter -- The trip to Tunisia -- The first world war -- Bauhaus and Düsseldorf -- "Struck from the list" -- Paul Klee 1879-1940, life and work.With careful theories and many thousands of paintings, drawings, and watercolors, Paul Klee (1879-1940)is considered one of the most cerebral and prolific leaders of 20th century European art. Though typically small in scale, his works are remarkable for their sophisticated thought and meticulous nuances of line, colour, and tonality. Klee s stylistic formation was shaped by early affiliation with the German expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter and, in particular, by a 1914 trip to Tunisia which transformed his use of color. After the war, he taught at the esteemed Bauhaus school, where his lectures, like his emerging practice, emphasized the symbolic potential of shades, lines, and geometries. Klee was also inspired by Cubism, poetry, music, literature, language, and the simplistic power of children's art.

Edward Hopper, 1882-1967 : transformation of the real / by Renner, Rolf Günter.;
Includes bibliographical references (page 96).European beginnings -- Pictures of the New World -- The frontier of civilization -- Man and nature -- Self and other -- Transformations of the real : Hopper as modernist -- Edward Hopper 1882-1967 : life and work.Edward Hopper (1882-1967) is considered as one of the first important American painters in 20th century art. After decades of patient work, Hopper enjoyed a success and popularity that since the 1950s has continually grown. In canvas after canvas he painted the loneliness of urban people. Many of Hopper's pictures represent views of streets and roads, rooftops, and abandoned houses, depicted in a brilliant light that strangely belies the melancholy mood of the scenes. Hopper's paintings are marked by striking juxtapositions of colour, and by the clear contours with which the figures are demarcated from their surroundings. His extremely precise focus on the theme of modern men and women in the natural and man-made environment sometimes lends his pictures a mood of eerie disquiet.
