An insight into the artistic legacy of the great Surrealist patron and collector Edward James. A wealthy and flamboyant Englishman, James was pivotal in bringing the European avant-garde to the attention of the British public - patronising amongst many, Dali, Magritte and Man Ray.
James converted his hunting lodge at West Dean, near Chichester in West Sussex into a Surrealist dream. He also built, along with his Mexican friend, Plutarco Gastelum, a surrealist garden of Eden, Las Pozas in Xitila, San Luis, Potosi, Mexico.
