Lenbachhaus

But live here? No, thank you! Surrealism + Antifascism

Surrealists denounced European colonial policy, organized themselves against fascist movements, fought for the Spanish Republic, were persecuted, went into exile, fell in the war against the Nazis. They wrote poetry, worked on paintings, collective drawings, took photographs and made collages. The exhibition at the Lenbachhaus attempts to answer the question anew: What is Surrealism?
