This painting below is my absolute favorite because it was painted by a woman who was left by her husband and it displays the pain and agony she felt. The clock on the bottom right represents her "fleeting youth"
Surrealism was the movement that left reason for the dream, chose symbols and surprises over logic and embraced the sexual and the bizarre. Although the movement is radical in its subject matter, much of its treatment of women has been unfortunately traditional, and the genre is decidedly male-dominated. (One can blame Freud, if one were so inclined.) Though the only female surrealist you might know off the tip of your tongue is Frida Kahlo (perhaps more for her life story than her work), be prepared to be swept up into the wild imaginations of these 47 artists. 
In the exhibition, it's possible that women could play it even odder than the hallowed Men of Surrealism. We see breasts served on a platter, severed baby heads, a fuzzy sofa made of ripped torsos ... The collection is not just surrealism by females, but female surrealism. The 175 piece exhibition will show how gender and geography affected the surrealism movement as a whole, and how our perception of the genre should widen to encompass it.
