An exhibit you could get lost in…
Like a trance, the show takes you from room to room, exploring the main themes of Surrealist paintings: labyrinth, night, forest, mental landscapes, metamorphoses and myths, chimeras, and dreams and nightmares. The exhibit also explores the timeline of Surrealism’s formation and evolution as it morphed into other movements.
There’s an impressive amount of Surrealist objects on view: found objects, collages of parts that coalesce into nightmares—all of it adding up to rooms of visual mysteries with dark overtones. All of your favorites are here: Paul Delvaux, Dorothea Tanning, Man Ray, Leonor Fini, Marcel Duchamp, and even Jackson Pollack.
