Todd Schorr: American Surreal

Todd Schorr: American Surreal is the first mid-career retrospective of the Los Angeles-based artist. Schorr is a leading figure in Southern California’s cartoon-based movement, dubbed “Pop Surrealism,” which embraces low-brow culture and a ribald graphic style indebted to pop sources such as Mad magazine. Schorr’s astonishing, highly polished realism, (inspired by Bosch, Brueghel and Dali), sets him apart from his best-known peers such as Camille Rose Garcia, Gary Baseman, and Mark Ryden.

IMA: In the Gallery (6 videos)

IMA: In the Gallery

A lot of interesting people come into the museum, and they are not always working on an art installation or opening an exhibition. Sometimes they are poets, activists, writers, set designers, or politicians, who are involved in the museum on another level, outside of the studio, but still in the realm of creativity and personal expression. We invite these guests into the galleries to give us their view on the art they encounter and how it reflects the world as they see it.
