Blanton Museum of Art: Long Live Surrealism! Exhibit

The exhibition 'Long Live Surrealism!' reflects on the profound impact of the Surrealist movement since its inception with the 1924 manifesto in Paris. This movement, which prioritized the expression of thoughts free from rational constraints, has influenced not just art but also how individuals perceive their reality. Surrealism emphasizes the role of dreams, chance, and the unconscious, aspiring to liberate both artistic expression and personal experience.

Featuring works from renowned Surrealists like Hans Bellmer, Leonora Carrington, and Max Ernst, alongside contemporary artists such as Yayoi Kusama and Dorothy Hood, this exhibition showcases the movement's evolution and its enduring significance in modern art. Through these diverse contributions, it continue to challenge and inspire audiences today.
