Review from amazon.com :
A good book for any
art enthusiast to have, October 23, 2004 :
"I've been
following massurrealism for some time now, and this book
is an interesting accumulation of a few essays, combined with informal
thoughts and remarks on the subject. What I like about this particular,
albeit relatively new art group, is that massurrealists represent that
connection between the past art world and the newer one transforming
right before our eyes. Most of the excerpts from the dialogs section
were thought provoking, and a few were silly, while others were
somewhat humorous, including the drink recipe for the Massurrealist
Mistress (I suppose art and booze do go together). Regardless if you
are an enthusiast of this art genre or not, this is a document that
represents how globalization is affecting the contemporary art world
today. "Massurrealism: A Dossier" to some extent seems abridged, though
I'm certain this is not the final word on the topic. And what is even
more intriguing, is that this art genre is showing us what it means to
express ourselves in this day and age of constant technological
evolution." |
