Belvedere Talk: Surrealism Under Communist Rule in Poland

The Belvedere in Vienna hosts a guided tour on October 15, 2026, focusing on surrealism under communism, with particular attention to artist Erna Rosenstein. Rosenstein, who was active in communist organizations during her studies in Vienna and Kraków, later rejected socialist realism in favor of a surrealist visual language after traumatic WWII experiences. Art historian Dorota Jarecka and curator Stephanie Auer lead the event, which uses silent audio systems. Participation requires both a valid admission ticket and a separate event ticket.
