Dreams: From Giotto to Kusama: Eternal Themes in Art

This evocative book traces the shifting ways artists have envisioned the dreamworld-from prophetic visions and sacred visitations to nightmares, fantasies, and surreal inventions. Spanning millennia and a wide range of artistic forms, the volume brings together a diverse selection of works that show how dreams have stirred imagination, shaped belief, and opened pathways to other states of consciousness. Sculptures, painted panels, illuminated manuscripts, frescoes, temple reliefs, narrative cycles, drawings, prints, photographs, collages, and street art reveal how artists working in different contexts have turned to dream imagery to express wonder, fear, longing, and transformation.
