Summary: Space and Dream by Robert Goldwater. Space, dream, constellation, these words, which carry so much significance for twentieth century science, also opened new and wonderful worlds for the artist. In this volume, Robert Goldwater, Professor of Fine Arts, New York University, and Chairman, Administrative Committee of The Museum of Primitive Art, New York, examines art conceived in the period between the two world wars by men whose remarkable interpretations of these words are clearly manifest in their work. The Artists created a new kind of space - not real or classical or Cubist, but floating (dream). This concept, which is germane to so much art activity today, is analyzed in detail as it occurs in the paintings, sculptures, and writings of Arp, Brancusi, de Chirico, Ernst, Kandinsky, Klee, Masson, Miro, Picasso, Tanguy and others. More then Seventy works are reproduced, eight of which are in color.
