This week I went to an exposition of dadaism & surrealism in "Mu.ZEE" at Ostend (Belgium). It was an exposition about Edouard Léon Théodore Mesens' life, a Belgian surrealist artist and writer who lived from 1903 till 1971.
In the beginning of the museum there was a timeline with all the highlights of E.L.T Mesens life, really fun and interesting to read. The rest of the hall and floors were filled of popular E.L.T Mesens works and other artists who influenced him or worked with him like René Magritte, Man Ray, James Ensor, etc.. René Magritte and Man Ray were already one of my favorite surrealists so I was really excited when my dad brought me to this exposition!
Here are a few of the pictures I took.
