Lecture by art critic Daria Bosomykina “Women-surrealists. Brilliant and forgotten"

At the first mention of the term "surrealism," many people immediately picture an eccentric artist with a flamboyant mustache. But what if the most iconic surrealist object wasn’t created by Dalí—or even by a man at all?

The general public remains unfamiliar with a vast array of extraordinarily talented female artists who worked in the mid-20th century. You won’t find them in official group photographs, and their mentions in art history literature are usually limited to footnotes.

Brilliant, unique, complex—these words perfectly describe surrealist women artists. It’s time to correct this historical injustice, recognize their names, and honor their achievements!
