The Surrealist Impulse
August 12, 2023–January 28, 2024
East Building, Level B, Photography Gallery 2
(Allen G. Thomas Jr. Gallery)
The early 20th-century movement surrealism invigorated artists and thinkers to explore dreams, the irrational and uncanny, and the poetic in their works. These principles reverberate in the 21st century, where surrealism remains a chief inspiration. In this exhibition artworks are brought together to illustrate a surrealist impulse that exists in contemporary art.
