Revolution against the Rational: Surrealist Art at the David Barnett Gallery. The show will feature over twenty color lithographs produced by the estate of René Magritte as well as works by Salvador Dalí, André Masson, Joan Miró, and others. These artists rejected logic in favor of embracing the unconscious. Influenced by the writing of Sigmund Freud and Karl Marx, Surrealism became an international intellectual and political movement. The Surrealist Manifesto by André Breton critiqued bourgeois rationality and embraced the irrational, the fantastical, and the world of dreams. The exhibition explores the myriad ways visual artists interpret Surrealism historically and today. Plus, we have a pop up staff show!
