dreamscape: Surrealism from the Collection
September 10, 2022-December 31, 2022
This exhibition takes a look at both classic Surrealism (Dali, deChirico, Escher) of the 1930s and 1940s and more modern and contemporary artists who adhere to surrealistic principles (Cocke, Lanyon). While there have been several Surrealism exhibitions over the years, little attention has been given to artists working since the 1940s whose work continues to demonstrate Surrealism’s influence. This exhibition, drawn from the CRMA’s collection, will start the conversation on this phenomenon in a new and engaging way.

Annual educational programming has been supported in part by Transamerica.
