Dreamworld: Surrealism at 100 currently on view at the Philadelphia Art Museum features approximately two hundred works by more than seventy artists associated with the international Surrealist movement. We recently toured this exhibition and it can only be described as an unforgettable visual journey of the mind that can be alternately strange, haunting, disturbing and captivating.
The world "surreal" is tossed about a lot this days but until your've studied the surrealist movement of the art world, you haven't a clue as to what the word really means, how it came about and how it's been popularized.
The Philadelphia Art Museum is be the only U.S. venue for this show following distinct iterations at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, which launched this project to celebrate Surrealism’s centenary, and three other European museums. Philadelphia Art Museum highlights include works by Miro, Dali, Magritte and other masters of the genre.
We took some photos, featured below. The show continues through February 16.
