Author Description

This book explores key themes in Dada and Surrealism: marvelous juxtapositions, automatism, biomorphism, dreamscapes and desire - Magritte, Duchamp, Man Ray, Miro, Dali. This catalogue offers selected works from the Collection of the Israel Museum, Jerusalem's parallel to 'Rearranged Reality' - 'Creative strategies in Hungarian Art under the spell of Dada and Surrealism'. Bringing together the multiple mediums and strategies by the artists - painting, drawing, collage, sculpture - ready made and assemblage; photography, photomontage, the display vividly illuminates these movements. The display reflects the conviction that Dada and Surrealism were universal and intellectual movements that crossed borders and redefined states of being and ways of perceiving the world.00Exhibition: Magyar Nemzeti Muzeum, Budapest, Hungary (7.-10.2014).
