Chicago has for decades years been one of the most prominent cities
where European surrealism is avidly collected and displayed.
However, there has yet to be a scholarly exhibition and catalogue
that addresses the local manifestations of this international mode
of art. A Home for Surrealism focuses on a select group of painters
whose work in the 1940s and ’50s both transformed the domestic
and domesticated the surrealist, particularly in Chicago. Working
independently, but within a chain of social and artistic
relationships, this group explored the interior as a site of
projected imagination and fantasy, and the self as the generator of
such altered perception. Including contributions by Robert
Cozzolino, Adam Jolles, and Joanna Pawlik, the book provides a
richly illustrated account of an international movement’s
unlikely—but somehow ever so fitting—home in America.
