Surrealism as an art form has captured the imaginations of creatives since the movement emerged in the early 20th century. Visual journeys through unreal places and unpredictable juxtapositions of imagery jolt us awake and invite us to question our definitions of reality.

More than Dreams: Exploring the Surreal in Art” is a new exhibition at the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art, on view now through Dec. 18. “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes spoke with the show’s co-curators, Madeline Beck and Carlos Solis, along with Clemens Bak, son of the late artist Bronislaw Bak, to talk about the transportive experience of the new collection.
