The Philadelphia Museum of Art presents The Surrealists: Works from the Collection, an exhibition dedicated to one of the most significant art movements of the 20th century. The show spans from the mid-1920s to the late 1940s, when Surrealism flourished, and traces the movements roots in Paris to its acceptance by a broader international audience.
The exhibition contains approximately 100 works from the Philadelphia Museum’s collection as well as period journals, catalogues and archival materials. Some of the most celebrated Surrealists are represented in the show including Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí and Dorothea Tanning. The Surrealists presents a comprehensive survey of one of the most cohesive, long-lasting and idiosyncratic movements of the 20th century.
The Surrealists: Works from the Collection will be on view at the Philadelphia Museum of Art through March 2, 2014.
