'In the Mind's Eye - Surrealist Works on Paper' is a new exhibition focusing on the avant-garde art movement in Europe between 1925 and 1958. The collection of drawings and photographs, books and other written work that goes on show in York today includes work by Salvador Dali, Man Ray, Max Ernst, Edward Burra, Eileen Agar, Giorgio De Chirico and the above 1958 piece, Collage Composition, by the great French poet and artist, Jacques Prevert. The images on show were influenced by Freud's theories of the unconscious - their creators used dreams as a source of symbols and imagery, while also exploring the uncanny in everyday objects. This is your chance to see the world from a truly different perspective.
