HENI Talks | Surrealism and Objects: Expanding the Idea of Reality @HENITalks | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 1 hour ago
“What are these things, if they no longer have the function that we associate with them?”

From crustaceans on top of telephone receivers, to vision obscuring silk hats, the Surrealists adapted everyday, utilitarian objects as a way to expand the idea of reality.

In this film, art historian Professor Dawn Adès CBE explains the meaning and significance of the Surrealist object by way of 5 extraordinary examples; from key artists associated with the movement: Salvador Dalí, Marcel Duchamp, Artur Cruzeiro Seixas, Eileen Agar, and Joseph Cornell.
