Acervo Museo de Arte Moderno.INBAL/Secretaría de Cultura The effect is interesting as it allows a wider view and traces different routes that revitalise the idea of Surrealism, which was above all a means to challenge social and political systems. Big names such as René Magritte, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Giorgio de Chirico, Joan Miró and others are displayed near minor works of less well-known artists. The exhibition features mainly paintings but also some sculptures, films, photography, and magazines. Over 150 works from 50 countries spanning 80 years give a variegated and multifaceted idea of what Surrealism has meant-and still means-in art. This inspiring cultural experience expanded and morphed in Africa, Asia, and Central and South America. International, broad and varied, the Tate Modern exhibition on Surrealism goes beyond the borders of Paris and western countries where the avant-garde movement started in 1924.

It is the dictation of thought, free from any control by the reason and of any aesthetic or moral preoccupation. Surrealism: pure psychic automatism, by which it is intended to express.
