“1000 Masterpieces from the Great Museums of the World” is one of the most successful TV series about art. The original, with improved image quality, takes us on a fascinating journey through the history of art. Comprehensively illustrated and compellingly presented – the well-known authors of five short art surveys provide a deeper insight into the masterpieces of painting. In 1924 André Breton published the “Surrealist Manifesto”. It was the written constitution of a movement which, drawing on Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis, espoused a higher reality of the subconscious and the world of dreams. Each of the five artists presented here gave form to these ideas in their own unique way – from Miró's world of symbolism and colour, to Tanguy's 'landscape of the soul', to Dalí's tangible dreamscapes. Man Ray: La Fortune (1938), Paul Delvaux: Pygmalion (1939), Salvador Dalí: The burning giraffe (1936), Joan Miró: Dutch interior I (1928), Yves Tanguy: At 4 o'clock in the summer (1929)
