More about the book

"Penrose" wrote Andre Breton "est Suurealiste dans l'amitie" -- and "The Friendly Surrealist" is an apt description for the man who more than any other nurtured the friendships and contacts which introduced European Surrealism to the British art world. This touching memoir, written by his son Antony, is published to accompany an important retrospective exhibition in Edinburgh and is richly illustrated with contemporary photographs, including those of his second wife (the author's mother), Lee Miller.
