Attached is an amusing, if blasphemous, art review of the Museum of Modern Art’s 1936 Dada and Surrealism exhibit.

“The Marx Brothers of the art world are displayed, in all their unrestrained glory, in an exhibition of Fantastic Art in New York this week.”
“An exhibition of this type is always easy prey for the practical joker. A similar show in Paris several years ago exhibited a shovel, submitted by a well-known but discontented artist as an example of perfect symmetry.”
