Surrealism and Us: Caribbean and African Diasporic Artists since 1940 shines new light on the history of Surrealism, bringing together more than 80 works from the 1940s to the present that convey how Caribbean and Black artists sparked and expanded on the avant-garde movement. Inspired by a historical moment of creative ferment in the Caribbean, when figures like Suzanne Câesaire and Wifredo Lam found common cause with refugee Surrealists around the political and aesthetic possibilities of the marvelous, this exhibition catalogue shows how these vital transatlantic exchanges have resonated through art history and shaped artists today--back cover.
