| Details: | Coinciding with the arrival from Paris in Roxbury of sculptor Alexander Calder and his wife Louisa in 1933 and the political climate in Europe, transplanted Parisian artists transformed Connecticut into a Surrealist capital-in-exile. Painter Yves Tanguy settled in Woodbury with his American wife, painter Kay Sage whose cousin, sculptor David Hare, lived near the Calders in Roxbury while Rose and André Masson moved to New Preston. Several significant artists of the Magic Realist mode, an important movement of the interwar years, also lived and worked in Connecticut: Peter Blume and his wife in Sherman, and Pavel Tchelitchew and Paul Cadmus in Weston. Recently arrived French sculptor Louise Bourgeois and her American husband, art historian Robert Goldwater, bought a place in Easton in 1941. The great Armenian-born, New-York-based painter Arshile Gorky eventually moved to Roxbury.
