Keeping it Surreal
This week sees the opening of the exhibition 'Keeping it surreal: Surrealism Beyond Borders' at the Tate Modern in London. To prepare your visit or to simply pretend you went there 😉 Art Explora has prepared a special playlist for you! From Dali to Chirico, with Dora Maar or Leonora Carrington, let's discover the works of these artists who used their dreams and the subconscious mind to create their art. Enjoy!
One of the 20th century’s most radical art movements, Surrealism sought to challenge convention through the exploration of the subconscious mind, invoking the power of dreams and the element of chance to challenge the establishment of the day. Where did this revolutionary movement emerge from, who were its key players and what legacy does it have amongst later artists?
