The exhibition features mainly paintings but also some sculptures, films, photography, and magazines. Over 150 works from 50 countries spanning 80 years give a variegated and multifaceted idea of what Surrealism has meant-and still means-in art. This inspiring cultural experience expanded and morphed in Africa, Asia, and Central and South America. International, broad and varied, the Tate Modern exhibition on Surrealism goes beyond the borders of Paris and western countries where the avant-garde movement started in 1924. It is the dictation of thought, free from any control by the reason and of any aesthetic or moral preoccupation.
