Visions from Home: Surrealism in Connecticut

Presented in conjunction with Peter Blume: Nature and Metamorphosis, Visions from Home: Surrealism in Connecticut examines the community of artists that flourished in western Connecticut beginning in the 1930s. The area’s quiet environs and open landscape offered a reprieve from the noise and congestion of city life. Many of these artists cited the rural surroundings and expansive views as a source of inspiration for their imagery and choice of subject. As friends and neighbors, their close contact often facilitated the exchange of ideas and techniques.
