Surrealism and Beyond in the Israel Museum, Jerusalem
February 15- May 17
The Cincinnati Art Museum
Surrealism (n.): Psychic automatism in its pure state, by which one proposes to express -- verbally, by means of the written word, or in any other manner -- the actual functioning of thought. Dictated by the thought, in the absence of any control exercised by reason, exempt from any aesthetic or moral concern. (Andre Breton, Surrealist Manifesto, 1929)
I don't do drugs. I am drugs. (Salvador Dali)
For the next couple of months CAM will be the only U.S. establishment to host an extensive collection of fabulous and intriguing Dada and Surrealist works. On loan from the Dada and Surrealist Vera and Arturo Schwartz Collection of the Israeli Museum, Jerusalem, it will feature 200 + highlights in a variety of media. Featured and infamous artists include Salvador Dalí, Marcel Duchamp, Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst, René Magritte, Joan Miró, Jean (Hans) Arp, Man Ray, Kurt Schwitters, Hannah Höch and Paul Delvaux.
