Australian Surrealism
The Agapitos/Wilson collection
Surrealism, the great revolutionary movement originating in France in the 1920s, was to change the course of Australian art in the 1940s. A generation of Australian artists including James Gleeson, Sidney Nolan, Albert Tucker, Arthur Boyd and Max Dupain encountered Surrealism at a formative time in their careers, and its influence transformed their art forever.
