Presents Opposition and Sister Squares Reconciled Ex Libris #20 - 20 unique collages. 10 b/w and 10 colored ones - Collage and drawing on black cardboard - Signed - The accompanying Ex Libris is also individually overwritten in white pencil. // Marcel Dzama's Ex Libris, part of his 2011 series Opposition and Sister Squares Reconciled, is a striking mixed media collage on black cardboard. This piece, one of 20 unique works, combines black-and-white imagery with drawn elements, creating a surreal and dynamic composition. The collage depicts a group of female dancers, their movements and postures forming a rhythmic and almost celestial pattern, as if caught mid-performance. The use of white pencil lines adds a sense of motion and connectivity, while the stark contrast of the black background enhances the figures’ ethereal presence. Dzama’s work often explores themes of performance, play, and surrealism, and Ex Libris is no exception, blending these elements to evoke a sense of mystique and elegance.

What is Surrealism?
Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
