Learning to Look | Later Surrealism

The organized Surrealist movement dissolved with the onset of World War II. Many of the original Surrealists continued on their own trajectories, often in the US or Latin America, where they encountered artists who adapted Surrealist ideas into their work. 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.

The organized Surrealist movement dissolved with the onset of World War II. Many of the original Surrealists continued on their own trajectories, often in the United States or Latin America, where they encountered artists who adapted Surrealist ideas into their work.

Notable Latin American Surrealists include Frida Kahlo, Wifredo Lam, and Roberto Matta. The Surrealist practice of automatism would go on to influence artists of the New York School, including Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko.
