Creative genius Desmond Morris talks about his new book “Baby”, a valuable book for toy designers about how babies think and react.
Publishers of fun to make wood toy projects and plans.
“Desmond Morris has an international reputation as author, broadcaster and zoologist. He is best known for his pioneering work on human behaviour, which was first brought to the public’s notice with the publication, in 1967, of the enormously popular and, according to some, shocking book The Naked Ape. Over twelve million copies have been sold throughout the world and it has been translated into most languages. More than a quarter of a century later the highly acclaimed BBC television series The Human Animal has been a testimony to the enduring appeal of Morris’s original view that human beings can justifiably be regarded and studied as just one of the many animal species. See Desmond Morris video on the human animal.
“Morris’s reputation as a scientist and television presenter has, however, overshadowed another, equally passionate facet of his life’s work. What is less known about him is that from the age of sixteen he has been a committed and practising Surrealist painter. In no way inhibited by his academic success as a zoologist and his celebrity status as a writer and television personality, he has made, since the 1940s, a steadfast and significant contribution to the Surrealist movement in Britain.”
– Silvano Levy, Desmond Morris: 50 Years of Surrealism, 1997
