The Surrealist Movement from Dalí to Magritte – Crisis and Rebirth in 1929
Building C, Ground Floor - 28 June – 20 October 2019
The Museum of Fine Arts – Hungarian National
Gallery will mount a large-scale exhibition of surrealist art. The show
organised in conjunction with the Centre Pompidou is primarily based on a
selection from the rich collection of the Parisian institution.
The exhibition will document the main
trends of Surrealism, its central figures and outstanding artists
through the extremely eventful period in the movement’s history, the
year 1929 fraught with personal and artistic conflict. One of the most
noteworthy moments of 1929 was the appearance of Salvador Dalí of
Catalonia on the Parisian art scene and his taking the leading role in
the group of surrealists. His film made together with Louis Buñuel, Un
chien Andalou, debuted that year, and was the first masterpiece of
surrealist moving pictures, confirming that the unique perspective and
new artistic approach advocated by the movement can be coupled with the
most varied technical solutions.
The show will provide a broad overview of the works made at the time by the surrealists, including Salvador Dalí, Max Ernst, Joan Miró, Yves Tanguy, René Magritte, Pablo Picasso and Francis Picabia. Surrealist photography will be represented at the exhibition with works by Man Ray and Brassaï, while visitors will be able to see lesser known but nevertheless important figures such as Jacques André Boiffard.
