Price: $31.50
Customer Review:
This is the catalogue for an exhibition held at Moma in NYC based on the artist's famous 1927 statement that he wanted to "assassinate" painting, thereby meaning that he wanted to initiate a revolt against the traditional ways of making "pretty" paintings.

| 3. |  | Salvador Dali 2v
from Taschen
Price: $37.79
Customer Review:
This book is a complete overview of Dali's works, it's more like an encyclopedia. But I would prefer it to have huge full-page illustrations of the paintings, even double-page ones! Because you can's appreciate the picture if it's only like 4x4". And Dali's paintings have so many small details, so... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 8. |  | A Book of Surrealist Games
from Shambhala
Price: $9.56
Customer Review:
This was supposedly the inspiration behind Eno's card decks, and is a very useful tool in its own right. While I don't think you'd necessarily want to do the 'spiritualist' slanted activities that it outlines, if you're able to read between the lines and extrapolate to your own creative activities... more info | 3.5 / 5.0
