Surrealism emerged in the wake of World War I as an art movement that shattered societal norms and delved into the subconscious. In this video, we will be exploring the remarkable women who played pivotal roles in shaping Surrealism, often overshadowed by their male peers. Frida Kahlo's raw self-portraits, Remedios Varo's mystical narratives, Leonora Carrington's enigmatic symbols, Dorothea Tanning's dreamlike imagery, and Meret Oppenheim's transformative objects.

Wonderful video, thank you. Leonora Carrington’s life story & artwork fascinates me. I would love to be a fly on the wall, listening to her and friend Remedios Varo discuss painting. ❤

My pleasure!

[@borleyboo5613]

This is so interesting. A great pity it wasn’t longer. I do love surrealism and these ladies are extremely talented. Their work is at once, startling, eerie, weird and strangely beautiful. My favourite here was Eine Kline Nacht Muzak. I’d love to see more videos on surrealism.

You’re so welcome!

[@1deplatt]

You left out Kay Sage. Big mistake

[@trevor9934]

While I applaud the homage to these creative and strong women, I am frankly shocked that this did not include Lee Miller, who was very much a 'new woman', intelligent, artistic, an accomplished surrealist photographer, and even a surrealist chef. I wonder at this omission - I hope it was not because photography is not seen as Art...

[@victoriasebanz281]

This is a wonderful introduction! BTW, I see that there is a new movie about Lee Miller coming out starring Kate Winslet!
