Georges Hugnet:
The Love Life of the Spumifers
An exhibition of bizarre, lusciously hand-painted
photographic postcards by the Surrealist artist,
poet, bookbinding designer and critic, illustrating
his work, The Love Life of the Spumifers, where
each text poetically and humorously catalogues the
mating habits of a fantastical creature or Spumifer.

Hugnet realized the series during 1947-48 and wrote
the texts in the early 1960s. The location of four of
the 40 original Spumifers intended to complete the
series are presently unknown. Hugnet composed only
33 texts, one of which accompanied a missing work.

In Wonderland: the
Surrealist Adventures
of Women Artists in
Mexico and the United States
North America represented freedom from European
traditions for women Surrealists from the USA and
Mexico, and those fleeing war-torn Europe. While
their male counterparts usually cast women as
objects for delectation and imagination, female
Surrealists delved into their own subconscious
and dreams. The knowledge they derived from such
exploration empowered them to create extraordinary
visual images, both personal and universal.

Arranged thematically, approximately 175 works
in a variety of media date from 1931 to 1968. A
handful of slightly later examples demonstrate
Surrealism's historical overlap and influence on
the feminist movement. Iconic figures such as
Louise Bourgeois, Leonora Carrington, Frida Kahlo,
Lee Miller, Kay Sage, Dorothea Tanning, and
Remedios Varo are represented, along with lesser
known or newly discovered practitioners, including
Maya Deren, Helen Lundeberg, Maria Izquierdo,
Jacqueline Lamba, and Janet Sobel.

Matisse, Cezanne, Picasso:
The Stein Family
The Steins, an American family, moved to Paris
in the early 20th century: Gertrude, an avant-
garde writer, set up house with her brother Leo,
in the rue de Fleurus; her elder brother Michael
took a flat with his wife Sarah in the rue Madame.
They received the avant-garde into their homes and
built up an astonishing collection of modern art.

This exhibition, consisting of eight sections,
looks at the history of this extraordinary family.
Of special interest to our audience may be section
VII 1920-1930: Post-Cubism and the Neo-Romantics,
dealing with Gertrude's support of the group of
young painters including Berard and Tchelitchew.
