The radical and the risqué dominate the Vancouver Art Gallery this summer, where vibrant visions converge in The Colour of My Dreams: The Surrealist Revolution in Art. See techniques, from frottage to fumage, indicative of this groundbreaking movement in 350 works by artists including Salvador Dalí, René Magritte and Joan Miró (“Shooting Star,” pictured). In a local twist, the exhibit addresses surrealist interest in Pacific Northwest art with First Nations works on display. All these masterpieces sharing the same walls may make you want to pinch yourself, but this definitely isn’t a dream.—Kristina Urquhart
