About This Lesson
Drawing Surrealism at LACMA explores the significance of drawing and works on paper to surrealist innovation. Long considered the medium of exploration and innovation, with the advent of surrealism, drawing was set free from its associations with other media and valued as a predominant means of expression and innovation. The inclusion of drawing-based projects by contemporary artists Alexandra Grant, Mark Licari, and Stas Orlovski, conceived specifically for the exhibition, aims to elucidate the diverse and enduring vestiges of surrealist drawing.
