Duchamp, Man Ray & Picabia

This exhibition at the Tate Modern displayed a very broad range of Surrealist work over the first half of the 20th Century. As this is one of my favourite movements I really enjoyed it, although as it covered three artists there was alot to take in.
Duchamp, Man Ray and Picabia shared an outlook on life and art, with a taste for jokes, irony and the erotic and forged a friendship that provided support and inspiration. As they were at the heart of the Dada movement and moved in the same artistic circles, they discussed ideas and collaborated, echoing and responding to each other’s works. The exhibition explored their affinities and parallels, it was very interesting to see how they influenced and encouraged each others work, I think it would be good to do something like that at uni!
