In this engrossing volume, essays by experts in the field and more than 130 color images showcase the experimental and international extent of Surrealist art during these years. Three of the book's featured artists, DaliÌ, MiroÌ, and Pablo Picasso, were from Spain, where tensions between right and left after the formation of the republic in 1931 led, five years later, to full-blown civil war. The victory of General Francisco Franco's Nationalist forces over the Republicans in April 1939 was a blow to anti-Fascist hopes throughout the West. Picasso's 'Guernica', painted in response to the bombing of a Basque village in April 1937, was exhibited in Paris at the Exposition Internationale and made a strong case for the relevance of visual art in political discourse. With the onset of World War II in September 1939, brutal hostilities engulfed the whole continent and then the world. Unlike Picasso, who remained in Paris throughout the war, many artists became refugees, and some fled to safety in the Americas. Despite (or because of) the political and personal turmoil, this was a period of surprising brilliance and fertility: avant-garde artists on both sides of the Atlantic pushed themselves to engage artistically with the psychological forces propelling contemporary history. Tapping into classical mythology, folklore, and witchcraft iconography, artists found ways to communicate their feelings and fears in this 'time of distress,' implementing a wide spectrum of new techniques. In the 1930s and 1940s, monstrosities in the real world bred monsters on canvas, in sculpture, on film, and in the pages of journals and artists' books. 'Monsters & Myths' brings together the most vivid and potent of these creations, showing us war through the eyes of some of the twentieth century's most celebrated artists." $c --publisher's description, dust jacket. 520 $a As Europe lurched toward fascism and America fought in the Second World War, no other artists produced images more powerfully disturbing than the Surrealists. Monsters & Myths: Surrealism and War in the 1930s and 1940s will be the first major exhibition to focus on the interrelationship between Surrealism and war in both Europe and America during this period. Surrealism--one of the most impactful and avant-garde movements of the 20th century--resulted from profound geopolitical shifts and pushed aesthetic boundaries to new places. Monsters and myths became some of the Surrealists' most favorite subjects, as they often took recourse in mythological themes to depict the horrors of war and capture dark premonitions. This exhibition will examine key works in a variety of media by Salvador DaliÌ, Joan MiroÌ, and Max Ernst, juxtaposing them with works by lesser known artists such as AndreÌ Masson, Wolfgang Paalen, and Wifredo Lam.--Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art website. 518 $o "Monsters & Myths: Surrealism and War in the 1930s and 1940s" : $d October 20, 2018-January 13, 2019, $p the Wadsworth Museum of Art, Hartford, Connecticut, United States. 518 $o "Monsters & Myths: Surrealism and War in the 1930s and 1940s" : $d February 24-May 26, 2019, $p the Baltimore Museum of Art, Baltimore, Maryland, United States. 518 $o "Monsters & Myths: Surrealism and War in the 1930s and 1940s" : $d June 23-September 22, 2019, $p the Frist Art Museum, Nashville, Tennessee, United States. 546 $a Text in English. 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 650 0 $a Surrealism $v Exhibitions. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008112396 650 0 $a Surrealism $x Themes, motives $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Avant-garde (Aesthetics) $z Europe $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a War in art $v Exhibitions. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008113361 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Art and the war. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85148284 650 0 $a Art $x Political aspects $z Europe $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Art, European $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007101383 650 7 $a Surrealism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01139538 650 7 $a War in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170504 648 7 $a 1939-1945 $2 fast 655 7 $a Art. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423702 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423702 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1424028 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1424028 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026098 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026094 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026111 700 1 $a Greeley, Robin AdeÌle, $d 1958- $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2005073918 700 1 $a Kavky, Samantha, $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2019020363 700 1 $a Shell, Oliver, $e author. $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2002091159 700 1 $a Tostmann, Oliver, $e author. $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2013024117 710 2 $a Baltimore Museum of Art, $e host institution. $e publisher, $e organizer, $e host institution. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79079550 710 2 $a Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, $e host institution. $e publisher, $e organizer, $e host institution. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n00003237 710 2 $a Frist Art Museum (Nashville, Tenn.), $e host institution. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2019018063 752 $a United States $b Maryland $d Baltimore. 752 $a United States $b Connecticut $d Hartford. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211023831.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=61333A041BE411EA82BF083097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
