Now being held in Yokohama museum , sakuragityo, kanagawa prefecture. 1,100 yen . Reasonable price. And massive line-up that you'll be satisfied with this show.Today I knew the fact that many of these works are the collection of Yokohama museum itself (amazing fact).
Surrealism is the movement of early 20's century mainly in new York or western Europe. This trend made our mind more free against traditional way of thinking under strict molality. Infruenced by the theory of Sigmund Freud, for example, in that days.And emphasized sexial energy namely "libido".
Artists following , Giorgio de chirico , Hans Bellmer, Rene Magritte, Paul klee, Joseph Cornell, Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy, Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, Salvador Dali, Paul Delvaux, and so on.
In addition to the name of Joseph Beuys , my favorite.
When I was a junior high school student , I saw Dali works. And became to be intrested in arts. It is not rare for boys in adolescence to be intrested in surrealist.Me , only one of such fun.The image of these arts are not chidish or funny but serious and poetic indeed.
I felt so ,even today.
