BOOKING REQUIREDEmbrace a rare and dynamic opportunity to learn about art and design right at the NGV, with direct access to our specialist team and the internationally significant NGV Collection.
In 1924, André Breton published his Manifeste du Surréalisme (Surrealist Manifesto), launching one of the twentieth century’s most significant and well-known art movements.
Marking the 100-year anniversary of this manifesto, the NGV invites adult learners to discover the history, impact and ongoing legacy of Surrealism in this introductory short course.
Over four evening sessions, NGV curators and educators will guide you through a study of this defining movement – from its birth in post-war Europe in the 1920s, the key figures involved in its development and the techniques used by Surrealist artists, its arrival in Australia in the 1930s and the ways that it continues to influence artists today.
Each week, join fellow learners for intimate sessions held after-hours at NGV International and The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia.
Participants can enjoy light refreshments in the Members Lounge, before being led on tours of the galleries.
The course will run over four Wednesday evenings from 9 – 30 October, 6–8pm.
