𝘊𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘦 (1944) by Charles Seliger at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, CT. Though not considered a surrealist, Seliger's work bears the influence of Surrealism, particularly given his relationships with Peggy Guggenheim and Max Ernst in the early 1940s. #Surrealism #HartfordHasIt

I'm translating this poem by Blanca Andreu. Her poetry is influenced by Surrealism and Iberian Mysticism, and I'm stuck on "el órgano tiempo" (time organ‽) and "por lo crecido". #Spanish #Poetry #Surrealism #Translation #AcademicSky
