Tomorrow, the Frist Center unveils Real/Surreal, an exhibit of art from the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s borrowed from the Whitney Museum. In
Joe Nolan's critic's pickon the exhibit, he says it "attempts to pinpoint a place in history when American artists who were concerned with remaining faithful to a subject’s observable nature began to reach deeper, creating works that embraced imagination and the subconscious under the influence of their pioneering peers across the pond, including René Magritte and Salvador Dali."
Curator Katherine Delmez led a media preview of Real/Surreal this morning. Check out photos of the exhibit, as well as some of our early favorites, after the jump, and look for more about this exhibit in the coming months.
