THE SURREALIST MENAGERIE

Join renowned zoologist and Surrealist artist Desmond Morris on an uncanny expedition though the animal kingdom as he explores the many ways that animals prowl, fly and slither through Surrealist art. From Leonora Carringtons hyenas to Salvador Dalís chimeras, Leonor Finis cats to Félix Labisses molluscs. Non-human beings became enduring points of fascination for many Surrealist artists, recurring motifs through which they explored new ideas about psychology, transformation and the marvellous.
