Thanks so much to the bunches of you who have emailed to tell me about this incredible sounding show: "Angels of Anarchy: Women Artists and Surrealism" up now at Manchester Art Gallery:
Angels of Anarchy is the first major exhibition in Europe to explore the crucial role that women artists played in the surrealist art movement.
The exhibition features over 150 artworks, including paintings, photography, sculpture and surreal objects, created by three generations of artists from around the globe.
The 32 artists are some of the most important and influential artists of the 20th century, including Frida Kahlo, Lee Miller, Meret Oppenheim and Leonora Carrington. These were radical, revolutionary women whose work still inspires, and sometimes shocks, today.
It's up until January 10th, so here's hoping I will be able to take a trip to the UK by then. Luckily, there is also a beautiful book
If you do get up to Manchester, let me know beforehand and we can meet up. Also, I still haven't got to see this exhibition! Need to remedy that...
