Learning to Look | Women of Surrealism

The early years of Surrealism were essentially a men’s club; however, many women worked at its periphery and gradually emerged from the shadow cast by André Breton. This program is presented in partnership with the Patchogue Arts Council and the in-person portion of this program will take place at MoCA LI.
