Surrealist Objects: Fetish and Fantasy

0 out of 5

£7.00

Surrealism was the first art movement to actively explore the ideas of Sigmund Freud. Founded by writers and artists who had been devastated by war and pandemic, Surrealism looked to Freud’s psychoanalysis as a way to work through their trauma, rebel against conformity and offer an alternative to the ‘rational’ mind. Their various experimentations in art allowed them to visualise the irrationality of dreams and desires.

Although the Surrealists worked with many of Freud’s conceptions, this talk focuses in on ‘the fetish’, how it inspired surrealist ‘objects’ and what role it played in the landmark International Surrealist Exhibition on 1938.
