This exhibition paired Surrealist paintings, photographs, prints and drawings from the Krannert Art Museum collection with the movement's experiments in print culture—from manifestos and single-page tracts to elaborately designed serials and limited-edition books—on loan from the University's Library. Collaboration across media and continual reinvention in the face of controversy have contributed to Surrealism's reputation as one of the most vital and enduring avant-garde practices of the twentieth century.
