Surréalisme au Féminin? at Musée Montmartre
The Musée Montmartre Jardins Renoir notes, “Men were not the only driving force behind Surrealism and its transgressive orientation: many women played a decisive role in the movement, but their works were neglected by museums and undervalued by the art market.” The exhibition seeks to put a spotlight on female surrealist artists that were commonly reduced to mere footnotes until recently. Featuring more than 150 works, the exhibition will feature pieces in various mediums by artists such as Lee Miller, Dora Maar and Leonora Carrington. Reduced tickets from €10.
