Joseph Cornell, Witold Gordon, Leon Kelly, Louis Marcoussis, Man Ray "Les Devins"
Schroeder Romero & Shredder
This event has ended.
"Les Devins" explores the magical narratives wrought from making ordinary objects extraordinary. On view are rarely seen works by Surrealist masters Joseph Cornell, Witold Gordon, Leon Kelly, and Man Ray, as well as the complete suite of 16 etchings from Louis Marcousis' "Les Devins". Among the works in the exhibition are the watercolor study for Man Ray's masterpiece "Leda and the Swan"; Cornell's playful astronomical inspiration for MoMA's 1953 Christmas card; and Gordon's quirky anthropomorphic collages. These artists read and interpret the signs and symbols of everyday occurrences, acting like mysterious soothsayers divining truths.
