Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Dreams that Money Can Buy. An original brochure for this classic surrealist film. It features items from each of the film's collaborators: Max Ernst, Fernand Leger, Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, Alexander Calder, and the director Hans Richter.Richter began the project in 1944 after receiving a $6,000 grant from Peggy Guggenheim. In an interview with the New York Times, Richter stated, "I started the picture as an adventure... But I knew one thing that was important. That is, in cinematography we have scratched only the surface of the art and that there are thousands of other possibilities in film. I felt that both modern art and the movies are an expression of our time and that it would be interesting to combine the two."
