| book description |

A lively history of Surrealism, from its beginnings in Paris to its expansion into an international artistic movement Â Dreamworld: Surrealism at 100 celebrates the centennial of AndrÃ© Bretonâ€™s Manifesto of Surrealism (1924), which launched one of the essential currents of twentieth-century thought and culture. Matthew Affron investigates how artists made good on Surrealismâ€™s promise of a revolution in consciousness by means of the unbridled imagination. This book highlights the key motivations, principles, themes, and techniques of Surrealist art from the early 1920s to the late 1960s. It also underscores Surrealismâ€™s spread beyond its birthplace in Paris, with a focus on the migration of artists to hubs in North Americaâ€”especially New York City and Mexico Cityâ€”during the Second World War. This lively, richly illustrated publication features works in a wide range of media by a diverse group of artists, including Jean Arp, Leonora Carrington, Joseph Cornell, Max Ernst, Frida Kahlo, Salvador DalÃ, Marcel Duchamp, Wifredo Lam, Man Ray, AndrÃ© Masson, Joan MirÃ³, Pablo Picasso, Dorothea Tanning, Remedios Varo, and many others. Â Distributed for the Philadelphia Museum of Art Â Exhibition Schedule: Â Philadelphia Museum of Art (November 8, 2025â€“February 16, 2026)
