Wolfgang Paalen and Alice RahonWorlds Gone and to Come

Wolfgang Paalen and Alice Rahon

Gallery Wendi Norris

Sep 10 – Oct 24, 2026 Jackson Square

The first two-person show of the Surrealist painters, who were married from 1934 to 1947.

Rarely seen paintings and works on paper set Paalen’s fumage pictures, drawn with candle smoke, beside Rahon’s canvases textured with sand.

The couple left Europe in 1939 and settled in Mexico City. Paalen later moved to the Bay Area, where he helped found the Dynaton group.
