“Metamorphic: Collage in the Dada\/Surrealist Tradition”
\n16 July-16 September 2016<\/h2>\n

2016 marks the centenary of Dada, the anarchic art movement that signaled the end of nineteenth-century bourgeois naturalism and the beginning of the twentieth-century concept of the artist as miscreant and provocateur. Unlike Cubists like Picasso, Braque and Schwitters, who used collage to seek expression in abstract form, Dadaists like Hannah H\u00f6ch, George Grosz, Raoul Hausmann, and Max Ernst employed collage for the subversive critique of the hypocritical European society that had slaughtered a generation in the Great War. The Surrealists, a decade later, employed collage with equal distaste for social conformity, especially in the areas of sexual desire and, following Freud\u2019s discovery of the unconscious, the kingdom of dreams. The prolifically creative Max Ernst, who was involved with both movements, pioneered the use of cut-up and recombined old engravings for his influential collage novel, La Femme Cent Tetes<\/em> (The Hundred-Headed Woman). The juxtaposition of unlikely elements to create a paradoxical or enigmatic narrative became one of Surrealism\u2019s signature devices, nicely expressed in the phrase from the visionary Uruguayan of the 1860s, Isidore Ducasse (aka the Comte de Lautr\u00e9amont), whose Miltonic\/satanic novel, Lay of Maldoro<\/em>, became something of a breviary for Surrealism: \u201cas beautiful as the chance meeting on a dissection table of an umbrella and a sewing machine.\u201d<\/p>\n

The subversive spirit of Dada and Surrealism continues in the San Francisco Bay Area. “Metamorphic” brings together Jenny Honnert Abell, John Hundt, Catie O\u2019Leary, Sherry Parker<\/a>, Francesca Pastine, and Vanessa Woods.<\/p>\n
