In 1934, only a year out of art school, Helen Lundeberg joined her teacher Lorser Feitelson in a new movement they christened “Post-Surrealism,” dedicated to transcending what they saw as the limitations of surrealism. Their postsurrealist compositions presented specific objects arranged logically so as to accrue metaphorical associations and meanings, similar to the way disparate incidents and images were brought together in modernist poems by Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot. As Lundeberg stated, the goal was to create for the viewer “an emotional or mood-entity, or intellectual or idea-entity.”
