Green apples, melted clocks, and unknown creatures—surrealism is among the most recognizable art movements of the past two hundred years, but what inspired it? And what can we learn from its otherworldly aesthetics today?
Join Dr. Leonard Folgarait (distinguished professor, emeritus, of history of art and architecture at Vanderbilt University) for a closer look at the surrealist art movement, presented in conjunction with International Surrealism from Tate: Fifty Years of Dreams.
