Imagine that Stepan Chapman, M.C. Escher, Albrecht Durer, and Salvador Dali were locked in an underground dungeon with an infinite amount of art supplies and only LSD to eat. Suddenly, a wayward creator-god shows up with a genetic splicer set to randomize the mixing of species and common objects, creating before the artists a set of real-life models from which they might take inspiration. Codex Seraphinianus is a natural history of the surreal, a book that truly defies categorization. It isThere are no other books like the Codex Seraphinianus nor will there ever be.
