Surrealism and Anti-Fascism: Art as Resistance - Exhibition Catalogue for the award-winning exhibition at the Lenbachhaus in Munich. AICA awards 'Special Exhibition'

The Topicality of Surrealism Today

Surrealism was more than an artistic movement-it was a political force. Opposing fascism, colonialism, and oppression, surrealist artists and writers fought for justice through poetry, painting, photography, and radical thought. This compelling exhibition catalogue from Lenbachhaus Munich presents pivotal texts and manifestos, many translated for the first time, tracing the movement's influence from the Spanish Civil War to the Black Civil Rights Movement. A vital resource for understanding Surrealism as both a revolutionary method and a timeless call for freedom.
