Surrealism USA

Bol Partner

Surrealism USA traces the history of this movement in the United States from about 1930 to 1950 by examining its manifestations throughout the country, from Social Surrealism and California Post-Surrealism to Magic Realism and the beginning of Abstract Expressionism. It chronicles the wide influence of Salvador Dali on American art, the Surrealists' response to war and fascism, and the relationship between Surrealism and abstract art.With over one hundred paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings, this definitive survey brings together the work of American artists such as Joseph Cornell, Arshile Gorky, Isamu Noguchi, Jackson Pollock, and Kay Sage with that of Europeans including Max Ernst, Andre Masson, and Yves Tanguy, who were in exile in the United States during World War II. It also presents a selection of works by lesser-known artists such as Federico Castellon, Enrico Donati, Jared French, and O. Louis Guglielmi.
