"Kurt Seligmann was one of several surrealists who met daily at Café Deux Magots in Paris in the 1930s. Deeply influenced by Freudian psychoanalysis, like his contemporaries, Seligmann channelled images that emanated from his subconscious into paint and print. What emerges in Seligmann’s works, however, is a vision that also bears the traces of Swiss-German Medieval art history – part of his upbringing – and its dark, anguished scenes. Seligmann’s paintings of crepuscular forms, positioned at the edge of the human and non-human, are presented in ‘The Mirror of Magic’, a solo show curated by Weinstein Gallery at Frieze Masters."
