Pop-up Surréalisme

Description

What is hidden behind this mysterious storefront? Open the door and enter the fantastic world of surrealism!

In this curious gallery, Gérard Lo Monaco, a pop-up art virtuoso, reinterprets the works of famous artists in 8 animated scenes: Salvador Dali, Victor Brauner, Jean Arp, Man Ray, Joseph Cornell, Dora Maar, René Magritte, André Breton. A short text presents each work and places it in its context. Inspired by the playful and poetic spirit of surrealism, this fabulous book-object delicately painted in gouache offers a reinterpretation of essential works of the movement that revolutionized modern art. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of surrealism, the Centre Pompidou is dedicating a major exhibition to it that will travel around the world.
