PROVIDENCE, RI.- The Frist Center for the Visual
Arts will present Twilight Visions: Surrealism, Photography, and Paris, opening
Sept. 10, 2009, in the Upper-Level Galleries. The show, which offers a unique
perspective on Surrealism by examining the intersection of documentary
photography, manipulated photography and film, will be on exhibition. 
It will travel to the International Center of
Photography in New York followed by the Telfair Museum of Art in Savannah, Ga.
Paris was a hotbed of creative activity at the dawn of the 20th century,
attracting artists and writers to its vibrant and wildly fertile art scene.
Numerous galleries flourished during this period, fueling the immigration of
many of the world’s most talented artists.
