POSTPONED: Female Surrealists and their Trans-Atlantic Voyages with Page Knox

Meet the female artists of the Surrealism movement!  Historically understood as a movement identified with male artists originating in Paris, Surrealism appealed to a number of female artists in Europe, Great Britain, America and Mexico, who used it as a vehicle to explore their own subconscious and dreams. Join Page Knox, in person, for a discussion of these fascinating female painters and photographers, including Lee Miller, Kay Sage, Frida Kahlo, Remedios Varo and Leonora Carrington, who, in their journeys of self-discovery, ventured across the Atlantic to find new personal and universal truths.
