A selection of works from the latest donation by Arturo Schwarz, which further enhances the collection of Dada and Surrealist Art he gifted to the Israel Museum several years ago. Thanks to Schwarz's generosity, the Museum has become a leading international center for the study of these movements. The new gifts were purchased from the estate of Andre Breton, author of the Surrealist Manifesto, and include works in a variety of media by such artists as Man Ray, Mirabelle Dors, Gherasim Luca, and Breton himself.
