On Monday 13 May the International Study Group will be investigating the importance of female artists in the Surrealist movement in a talk in English by Isabel Vermote, art historian at the Bozar.

The Surrealist movement is often associated with male artists such as Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, and Rene Magritte. However, female artists such as Leonora Carrington and Jane Graverol, played a crucial role in shaping the development of Surrealism, both as artists and muses. They visualised the female psyche as it had not been seen before and opened a  new dialogue that gradually transformed the relationship between the genders.

The illustration above is ‘A Candle of Understanding in Thine Heart’ painted by Marion Adnams in 1964.
