  • NEW WORLDS – Regard halluciné

  • On closer inspection, the things that surround us at times appear strange and mysterious. The Surrealists harnessed this moment of wonder: In their works they united contrasting or disconnected aspects, or things happened upon by chance. In this way René Magritte, Yves Tanguy and Salvador Dalí created visual worlds that appear to have emerged from dreams or a state of intoxication, yet remain so close to reality that we feel like we know them. Whole landscapes grow out of blotches of paint here, or a street lamp illuminates the interior of a house. The ›Hallucinogenic Gaze‹ onto things remained important even after the dissolution of the close circle of Surrealists around André Breton in 1930. Following this, artists such as Max Ernst or WOLS became mediators who with their works passed on Surrealist principles down through generations and across national borders.
