After nearly two years of traveling to other institutions around America, the Atheneum's world-renowned collection of Surrealist and Modern art returns home.
Featured in Dalí, Picasso, and the Surrealist Vision will not only be such long time favorites as Salvador Dalí's Apparition of Face and Fruit Dish on a Beach, Giorgio de Chirico's Endless Voyage, Rene Magritte's The Tempest, and Max Ernst's Europe after the Rain, but also drawings by Joán Miró and Yves Tanguy not usually on view, as well as a selection of works by American artists who dabbled in the surreal, such as Alexander Calder and Joseph Cornell. Joining these treasures from the permanent collection will be a selection of loans from regional collections by Surrealist masters not often seen in Hartford including Bellmer, Man Ray, and Masson.
at right: Salvador Dalí, Apparition of Face and Fruit Dish on a Beach, 1938. Oil on canvas. The Ella Gallup Sumner and Mary Catlin Sumner Collection Fund, 1939.269.
