The Guardian's G2 supplement today has a surrealist theme, to mark the opening at the end of March of the Surreal Things: Surrealism and design exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, a welcome change from the V&A's present exhibition of Miss Minogue's undergarments, and Dali and Film, which opens at Tate Modern in June. To describe this supplement as appearing "on the eve of two major new exhibitions" is excessively hyperbolic.
While the V&A's show is about design. it is curious that, though the Guardian also covers art, architecture and film, they make no mention of the British literary surrealist tradition, for example Edward Upward's early stories and his collaboration on the Mortmere project with Christopher Ishwerwood, or the poet David Gascoyne. The best they can offer is Blake Morrison on automatic writing.
