Surrealists in New York
In 1957 the American artist Robert Motherwell made an unexpected claim: "I have only known two painting milieus well … the Parisian Surrealists, with whom I began painting seriously in New York in 1940, and the native movement that has come to be known as 'abstract expressionism,' but which genetically would have been more properly called 'abstract surrealism.'"
Surrealists in New York tells the story of the European exiles who brought Surrealism to America, sparking the movement Abstract Expressionism movement. Through the artistic exchange between the Old World and the New, key figures such as Jackson Pollock found inspiration and developed groundbreaking techniques. Charles Darwent delves into first-hand documents and interviews to reveal the impact of these exiles on the 20th century art world.
