Walking Tour: Delirious: Art at the Limits of Reason, 1950-1980 at the Met Breuer 

ID:5314
Delirious times demand delirious art, or so proposes this exhibition, running from September 13, 2017, to January 14, 2018.  The years between 1950 and 1980 were beset by upheaval.  Around the globe, military conflict proliferated and social and political unrest flared.  Disenchantment with an oppressive rationalism mounted, as did a corollary interest in fantastic, hallucinatory experiences.  Artists responded to these developments by incorporating absurdity, disorder, nonsense, disorientation, and repetition into their work.  Delirious explores the embrace of incongruity and irrationality among American, Latin American, and European artists.  Divided into four sections — Vertigo, Excess, Nonsense, and Twisted — this exhibition showcase roughly 100 works of art by 62 artists linked by a common distrust of reason expressed as an exercise in calculated lunacy.

Schedule : Weekly - Fri 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM; starting 10/6/2017, ending 10/6/2017

Tuition: $50.00
