Surrealismus

In the organizer's words:

Surrealism revolutionized art from the 1920s onwards with fantastic, radically subjective motifs. With over 100 works, the exhibition invites visitors to immerse themselves in this fascinating art movement. As the first avant-garde movement, it was equally dedicated to all media - paintings, graphics and objects, photographs and films show the enormous diversity of surrealist art. Surrealists from the early days meet contemporary positions.
Inspired by Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis, the Surrealists devoted themselves to the unconscious and the irrational. Artists such as Max Ernst, René Magritte and Joan Miró created bizarre worlds beyond reality in their works. Monstrous hybrid creatures, dreamscapes and bizarre objects were intended to challenge our perception and steer our thinking in new directions. The juxtaposition with contemporary positions makes it clear that surrealism is not a closed historical movement; it continues to have an impact today. Then as now, artists are searching for a new view of the world in the face of global crises and political and social upheaval.
