Description
Farewell to Surrealism: The Dyn Circle in Mexico explores the pivotal moment when a group of artists and writers, who had been part of André Breton's Parisian surrealist circle, broke away from their ideology and forged a new direction for art. In 1943, they founded the journal Dyn, which reflected their fascination with pre-Columbian cultures, social sciences, and scientific discoveries. This catalogue accompanies an exhibition at the Getty Research Institute, featuring works by artists who played a critical role in the transition from surrealism to abstract expressionism. By examining the new aesthetic found in Dyn itself, this study sheds light on the transformation of these artists' work in response to their experiences in Mexico. Published in 2012, Farewell to Surrealism offers a fresh perspective on the development of modern art in the mid-20th century.
