Surrealism didn't take (Part I of II)
Despite it’s enormous popularity in Europe in the WWII epoch, surrealism never experienced widespread acceptance in Norway during this period. Surrealist artists found little success on the Norwegian market and encountered apathy among Norwegian audiences. Why did Norway resist an ideological movement that emphasized breaking from the arbitrary boundaries of perception and reality in preference of a more traditional perspective on the times? Why, in such turbulent times, did Norway turn its gaze inwards rather than embrace a philosophy that emphasized an externalization of the inward gaze?
