Special facsimile copy of the typeset version of the Surrealist photo book and Poem for Lee Miller ‘The Road is Wider than Long’ by Roland Penrose.

Special facsimile copy of the typeset version of the Surrealist photo book The Road is Wider than Long by Roland Penrose.

Written as a Surrealist love poem, the inspiration for the book is drawn from a journey that Roland Penrose made together with renowned photographer and war correspondent Lee Miller through the Balkans in 1938. This book is made as a replica of the first copy that Roland printed in 1939 using different fonts and then embellished with imaginative colour illustrations for Lee Miller.

Sir Roland Penrose is best known as a Surrealist artist and for his biography of his friend Picasso, ‘Picasso : his life and work’ (1958), followed by books on Joan Miró (1970), Man Ray (1975), Antoni TÃ pies (1978), and his autobiography ‘Scrap Book, 1900 – 1981′(1981). He was responsible for the First International Surrealism Exhibition in London in 1936 and organised the highly acclaimed Picasso retrospective for the Tate Gallery in 1960, followed by other key exhibitions at the Tate and major galleries. He co-founded the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Art) in 1947 but returned to painting in the last decade of his life, with exhibitions of his collages in London, Paris and Brighton.
