The Surrealist Book:Tomorrow Lives in Mirrors

Now at MoMA Exhibitions, *The Surrealist Book: Tomorrow Lives in Mirrors* traces how Surrealist artists used the book as a working medium, not just a container for images. The presentation follows experiments in layout, collage, typography, and text-image friction, showing how printed matter carried private dreams into public circulation. In New York, this lands inside a long local history of Surrealism’s afterlives, from émigré networks to postwar art discourse. One clear takeaway is how the modest scale of the page can sharpen the movement’s larger claims about reality.
