Join the March 2024 Art Book Club Meeting in Alexandria, VA at The Art League Gallery. This month's discussion focuses on Surrealism, a movement that emerged in Europe after World War I and influenced various art forms such as painting, film, sculpture, and poetry. Surrealism continued to evolve globally after World War II, impacting emerging art trends and visual culture as a whole. At the meeting, participants will engage in a show-and-tell conversation, sharing their interests in Surrealism through artists, books/articles, exhibits, or specific artworks. There are numerous resources available for further exploration, including a 10-minute PBS video on "The Case for Surrealism," The Art Story website's section on Surrealism with links to related sources, and essays on Surrealist art in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Tate. Additionally, "The Lives of the Surrealists" by Desmond Morris offers insights into 35 artists closely associated with Surrealism. Notably, the discussion will also highlight the significant contributions of women artists like Leonora Carrington, Meret Oppenheim, Dora Maar, Dorothea Tanning, and Remedios Varo, who are increasingly gaining recognition. The Art Book Club Meeting aims to explore Surrealism beyond Western European perspectives, as exhibited in "Surrealism Beyond Borders" at The Met and The Tate in 2021-22. This event provides an opportunity to delve into the intriguing world of Surrealism and its impact on the art scene. Admission is free, so don't miss out on this enriching experience.

The remains of the historical buildings of the Hellenistic period in Egypt, where only the small Sphinx remains in the rest. The large platform of the foundation is still preserved, and it is even more lonely. This is the remains of the Alexandria landmark.

The ancient Alexandria Library was built in the early Ptolemy Dynasty in the third century BC. It was the largest library in the world at that time. It collected more than 500,000 volumes. It included literature and materials in literature, science and technology, art, philosophy and other fields, attracting famous scientists, philosophers and other places. Thinkers and artists came to visit, such as Archimedes and Euclid, to conduct research, lecture, write books and engage in other academic exchanges. Alexandria became the world&#39;s cultural and scientific center at the time. The Ptolemy dynasty was also distinguished by its talents, producing a group of astronomers, geographers, mathematicians, medical scientists and linguists who made outstanding contributions to the world&#39;s scientific and technological culture. The new library is located on the seafront avenue of Alexandria on the southern shore of the Mediterranean, next to the large statue of the &quot;Bride of the Mediterranean&quot;, which costs $110 million, is novel and unique and eye-catching.

Overlooking the secluded beach, surrounded by date palm trees and gardens, the palace blends Florence and Turkish style and is now the State Guesthouse of Egypt. Montaza Palace was a summer retreat for the royal family until 1952. Now the seaside is open to tourists and anglers, and the palace is not open to the public.
