The world changed after World War I. Europe was devastated, and the avant-garde shifted focus to the “New World,” to New York. There, artists found their new inspiration in a more modern, technified and bustling society: the machine, “born without a mother,” but feminine and erotic, emerging from itself and without a model to imitate.
The exhibition Surrealismos. La era de la máquina (Surrealism. The Age of the Machine) consists of 125 pieces, including paintings, photographs, engravings, drawings, magazines, catalogues and books, sculptures and ready-made objects , and collection boxes showcased in four different sections: The new world and “pure photography;” From the artistic nude to the body as a machine; From abstraction to the machine; and Eros and the machine. With pieces by Duchamp, Man Ray, Picabia, and Stieglitz, authors who broke with academic tradition and entered a new age in modernity: the age of the machine.
