In 1946, Surrealist artists Dorothea Tanning and Max Ernst moved from New York City to the then-obscure town of Sedona, Arizona. There the pair produced works later shown in museums around the world, and initiated Sedona’s rise as an artistic center.

In celebration of the centennial of Surrealism, and in conjunction with the exhibition A Century of Surrealism, the UAMA is pleased to present this special virtual conversation with art historian Mark Rownd.

Rownd is owner of “Capricorn Hill” — the home Ernst and Tanning shared in Sedona. He is extremely knowledgeable on the subject of Surrealism, and has organized several exhibitions on the history of Ernst and Tanning in Sedona.

The event will begin with Rownd’s video essay “Dorothea Tanning: Early Influences in Sedona,” followed by a conversation and Q+A session with the audience. Please register to join us on Zoom!
