Composition, color pastel and frottage on orange paper by Max Ernst, 1943

The Surrealist movement of 20th-century art and literature used fantastic imagery with no intention of being logically comprehensible. The movement began with Andre Breton in 1924 and drew from the psychoanalytic work of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung.

An exhibit that opens Saturday at Kansas University’s Spencer Museum of Art includes more than 150 works from Salvador Dali, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy, Dorothea Tanning and others that demonstrate the artists’ fascination with dream, imagination and chance.

“The Invisible Revealed: Surrealist Drawings from the Drukier Collection,” will remain on view through May 22 in the Kress Gallery. For more information about the museum and exhibit, go online to www.spencerart.ku.edu.
