This article discusses Surrealism artists getting the chance to paint their work onto Hot Wheels Volkswagen buses. It happened in April, but at least it's recent. It also includes pictures of the cars.

I like this because it went inside the head of a surrealism painter. It's a video, but it explains something so much bigger. It also shows a sculptor.

This is Leonora Carrington's biography. I checked out some of her work and it's pretty interesting. It's not the best I've seen, but it's still pretty good. I like her life story. It's pretty inspiring. She didn't let anything stand in her way.
Summary:
The websites I've found this week are all pretty modern. They've all included people and things happening within the last couple years. Most of the stuff I find on surrealism is 20 years old, so it came as a surprise to me that I could find things this recent. Also, I am shocked to find events that have happened. The video and the Volkswagen Buses paint exibit were things that I found rare.
