Exhibition Surrealism and the Dream
For those who missed the Dalí exhibition, there is another (similar) chance, but this time at the Thyssen Museum. From the 8th of October 2013 to the 12th of January 2014, the exhibition Surrealism and the Dream, has collected paintings, drawings, collages, sculptures and photographs by artists such as André Breton, Salvador Dalí, Paul Delvaux, Yves Tanguy, René Magritte, André Masson, Max Ernst, Jean Arp, Claude Cahun and Paul Nougé. This exhibition will reveal how this transformation of modern sensibility had its roots in the profound connection between dream and image in Surrealism From the outset, the Surrealists championed the dream together with automatic writing, seeing them as fundamental routes towards the liberation of the psyche. While Freud’s thinking, in particular his great workThe Interpretation of Dreams (1.900), was crucial for the Surrealists’ own approach to the world of dreams, they were more than mere followers of his ideas. For them, the dream was a field of experience different to that of conscious life, and knowledge of it was essential for the enrichment and expansion of the psyche.Where: Palacio de Villahermosa, Paseo del Prado 8, Madrid.When: From the 8th of October 2013 to the 12th of January 2014.
