| Synopsis: |
"Surrealism Revolts" accompanies a major Hayward exhibition that draws its inspiration and much of its material from "Documents", the ground breaking surrealist magazine edited by the French thinker Georges Bataille. Its aim is to re-invest some of the best-known modern masterpieces by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro and Alberto Giacometti with some of the explosive vitality of the cultural and intellectual climate in Paris in the late 1920s. It reflects the visual richness and violent confrontations in "Documents" between art, archaeology, ethnography, film and popular culture. |
