I was there twice and am planning on going next week too. Surrealism is my favorite movement and i tease myself by thinking that my style of duddling is also somewhat surrealish. Anyways, there were mostly american surreal painters that I knew of almost nothing. Two or three familiar names and the rest came as revelation. My discovery number one was Brooklynite Henry Koerner and his two paintings Mirror of Life, 1946, and The Barber Shop, 1948.
to be continued when i get home...
