It is with great dissapontment to realize that having the opportunity of achiving partial access to the work of this XX century master, is somehow a matter of luck, by chance I got hold of a copy, and although is recommendable and good starting point, is modest in bringing justice to the quality and outstanding conceptual and technical dimension of this artist. That is not Mr. Soby's fault, he did a good job, but a far more extensive volume is required. It is important for curators and publishers to bring this artist into the light, to promote it, even with purest commercial interest, this artist will deliver joy to any individual, and shall create demand for whoever publisher that treats his work with respect.

Good book for the beginner to seek out. Contains some history and some nice plates. Publisher, time for a reprint to renew interest in this artist. Those interested in Tanguy should also look up Kay Sage.

Can someone recommend a book that is NOT out of print about Tanguy? I saw some of his works at the Guggenheim this weekend and am interested in learning more about him....

I was introduced to Tanguy at the Art Institute of Chicago last year and have tried with no luck to find a bio or printed collection of his work. Fabulous surrealist and in person, especially "The Rapidity of Sleep," his works are astounding.

This book is excellent as a show case and introduction to the work of Yves Tanguy the surrealist painter. Only wish there were more folks who appreciated this artist so books like this would go back in print.

Hey publisher! Please do a reprint! Looks like everyone here wants to get a copy of their own!!

I have been looking for books on this artist for a while without much luck.

I wish it were in stock. I think he's comparable to Dali and no one knows of him.

very very interested in Tanguy
