(Art by the incomparable Leonora Carrington)
If you're a regular on the Lewis Carroll Resources Page (run by Mark Richards and associated colleagues) you might have noticed the new Carroll and Surrealism tab which appeared over the last few months. It lists paintings and photography by the surrealists which was heavily influenced by Dodgson's works.
There are a great deal more than I expected. I always knew that this movement admired Carroll, but to see the sheer number of artworks on the list is incredible.
The list also includes manifestos which mention Carroll (of which there are 2) but at the moment does not list surrealist fiction inspired by Carroll, so sadly at the moment A little Girl Dreams of Taking the Veil, The Hearing Trumpet and Valerie and her Week of Wonders are not listed...
I think I have mentioned this before, but this was one of my favourite art movements I have encountered.
I look forward to seeing this resource grow.
