Even before Desmond Morris had startled the world with his outrageous book The Naked Ape, he had been captivating television audiences for some ten years with Zootime, the first programme to adopt the novel approach of showing the natural behaviour of animals. Yet, long before becoming a television personality, Desmond Morris had already gripped public attention as a painter. When his canvases were first shown in public, they managed to arouse public outrage. An exhibition held in 1948 inspired angry letters to the press. Spurred on by a rebellious spirit, he has, since then, been painting unceasingly and now ranks among the foremost exponents of Surrealism in Britain. This book traces the principal themes in his paintings and discusses their significance within the context of Surrealism, the movement with which Morris has identified for well over half a century.
