We are one and the same.
We share the same heart.
No, not the same heart,
The same type of heart;
And we are so full
Of false pride.
Sometimes I feel
Like you don’t care.
No, that’s not right either,
Rather I am afraid
That you don’t know
How to care.
Maybe I mean love,
And what I truly fear
Is my own inability,
To accept your inability.

A new exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art celebrates the female Surrealists of the United States and Mexico. According to the museum, "While their male counterparts usually cast women as objects for their delectation, female Surrealists delved into their own subconscious and dreams, creating extraordinary visual images. Their art was primarily about identity: portraits, double portraits, self-referential images, and masquerades that demonstrate their trials and pleasures." Works by Frida Kahlo, Muriel Streeter, Remedios Varo are represented and the exhibition runs through May 6th at the Resnick Pavilion.
