1976 World Surrealist Exhibition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (99 words) |
 | The World Surrealist Exhibition was held at Gallery Black Swan in Chicago in 1976. |
| As the name suggests, broader in scope than previous "international" exhibitions, it featured hundreds of works almost exclusively from contemporary participants in surrealism from thirty-one[1] countries. |
| Its catalogue, containing reproductions of selected works in the exhibition as well as a blueprint of the gallery, was entitled Marvelous Freedom/Vigilance of Desire. |
| Surrealism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (4791 words) |
| Surrealists diagnosis of the "problem" of the realism and capitalist civilisation is a restrictive overlay of false rationality, including social and academic convention, on the free functioning of the instinctual urges of the human mind. |
| Surrealists revived interest in Isidore Ducasse, known by his pseudonym “Le Comte de Lautréamont” and for the line “beautiful as the chance meeting on a dissecting table of a sewing machine and an umbrella”, and Arthur Rimbaud, two late 19th century writers believed to be the precursors of Surrealism. |
| Marxists have critique the surrealists for being revolutionaries merely in their own minds, while living the lifes of self-indulgent bourgeois intellectuals who were not serious collaborators of actual social and political revolutionary movements and actions, although a number of them did so collaborate as individuals. |
