Twilight Visions: Surrealism, Photography, and Paris
-
- Ilse Bing, Eiffel Tower, 1934.
Paris of the '20s and '30s — with its serrated rooftops, Haussmann streamlines, and bustling arrondissements — was a wellspring for the surrealists, particularly its photography-happy associates. Artists like Man Ray, Brassaï, André Kertész, Jacques-André Boiffard, Dora Maar, and others tried to capture the beauty and breathlessness of the city's gallop-paced life (and its all-out facelift) using canted angles, montages, fractured perspectives, and the latest technological tricks. This look back features 150-plus such manipulations, with photographs, films, printed materials, and dope surrealist ephemera.
