Description:
|
|
During the decade prior to World War II, James Guy achieved a substantial reputation in the New York art world. He was one of the earliest American exponents of surrealism, adopting it years before the abstract expressionists responded to the aesthetic. Guy used surrealism as a vehicle for social criticism. Guy was a strong believer in the exclusive power of surrealism to communicate with the viewer on a profound enough level to convince them to take action.
