Taming apparitions from the unconscious, artists such as André Breton, Frida Kahlo and René Magritte sought to distort and confront the dark realities of their time. Their rejection of traditional structures and their celebration of the absurd fundamentally changed the way we see art. A new report on Design Museum of London shows the long-lasting influence of the surrealist movement on the creation of almost every object.
Until February 19, the exhibition “Objects of Desire: Surrealism and Design 1924-Today” brings together 350 surrealist creations, sculptures with functional use, clothing, advertising photographs in magazines and architectural spaces. According to Tim Marlow, director of the museum, designed objects served the Surrealists for a long time as both physical material and iconography, charged with symbols.
“If you think Surrealism died out in the 1960s, think again,” said exhibition curator Kathryn Johnson.
“This report will show that he is still alive and well, and that he never left. Today, in the midst of dizzying technological change, war and a global pandemic, the spirit of the movement is even more alive in contemporary design than ever before.”
