After the First World War the Surrealists seize on the unconscious mind as the basis for artistic creation as does the Expressionist cinema of the 1920s completing the triumph of the imagination over the principle of reality and bringing the spirit of Dark Romanticism full circle and into the modern age. The exhibition features outstanding works not only by Francisco de Goya and Max Ernst but also by William Blake, Carl Blechen, Salvador Dalí, Eugène Delacroix, Caspar David Friedrich, Johann Heinrich Fuseli, Théodore Géricault, Paul Klee, René Magritte and Franz von Stuck from the museum’s own collection augmented by loans from major institutions including the Prado in Madrid, the Chicago Art Institute and the Städel Museum in Frankfurt where the exposition originated.
