Coffee with a Curator - Peter Tush: "Surrealism, The Big Ideas"
December 5, 2018
Coffee with a Curator is a focused, theme-oriented presentation on a variety of Dalí-related topics. The talk is presented by one of the Dalí Museum’s Curatorial/Education team or an invited speaker.
In this talk, Peter Tush, Dalí Museum Curator of Education, presents a concise overview of one of the most imaginative, ambitious and challenging art movements of the 20th century, Surrealism. This talk will also examine Dali’s role in the larger movement, and will conclude with a presentation of the new 8-minute Dalí Museum education video, “Surrealism: The Big Ideas.”

I have always been attracted to dream images - and surrealism is a very interesting opening into what can be imagined and showing it with great technical competance.

What is real and what is not? In our time of cell-phones, social media and fake-news this question is even more relevant.
Our world today, it is SO surreal!

In this video we combine the surreal images of Rene Magritte with the images we we constantly see on our screens, that affect our lives on so many levels.

The collective unconscious and mythology is credited to Carl Jung not Freud.

[@ChrisLeRose]

Haha TUSH

[@Samtagri]

44:45 call me ignorant, but why is a painting of two women “so provocative”. It is not provocative at all as far as I can see. It is the definition of mondaine.

[@PonyTrotsky]

Only in America can you blather on about surrealism for an hour, and never mention the fact that Breton was committed to the overthrow of capitalism.

[@nicholas72611]

Maybe because Breton isn't worth mentioning lol. There's a reason that every big thinker in the movement-Bataille, de Chirico, Artaud, Dali, Ernst etc.-were "kicked out" or distanced themselves from Breton's LARPing club.
Bataille's views on Marxism are better anyway lol

[@markbloch5237]

Only in America would it be such a big deal.

[@VincentFink]

well it did mention he was a Communist so that pretty much covers that. What's funny is how he got rejected by the Commies and they wound up fleeing to America, the capitalist stronghold of the world. Says a lot about what system worked out for the better. Wish our modern Leftists in America knew a little history.

[@PonyTrotsky]

​@@VincentFink Sorry, Mr Genius. Breton died in Paris. You're probably thinking of Salvador Dali. Dali always was a money-grubber and a showman, and did, in fact, emigrate to the US.
